My Queen Ants Formed a "Mean Girls" Club | The Queen Ant Sorority

[@AntsCanada]

Greetings AC Family & fellow ant lovers everywhere! I can't believe I was seeing ant clique culture in this queen sorority! Whatever the case, I am so happy to bring Yellow Crazy Ants back to the Antiverse. I have missed the OG G.E.! Hope the queens continue to get along despite what we've seen thus far. Go Queen Amy!!! ✊️🐜🌟 Hope you enjoy this week's video, and if you did, hope you could remember to hit LIKE, leave me a COMMENT, SHARE the video, and SUBSCRIBE (hit the BELL & Select ALL for Notifications Squad) to the channel to join our ever-growing AC Family! Love you, guys! 🙏🌿🐜 Ant love forever! So, about what I asked at the end of the video: Taking name suggestions now!

[@mr.miyagi881]

I think The Golden Royales would be a good name for the sorority

Wow

If I was you I would send a dead one to doctor general

i dont like ants because i dont want to do something bad but they literally are everywhere and place their nest entrances in areas where i could just accidently step on it blocking it off and making them angry. like yeah they are interesting and dont do anything bad but do they really have to be in those exact spots they are?

[@EggdogGuy]

@@Dave0439im an ant lover, but i dont like ant nests in my home either

[@Rabbitzan]

I don't think they are annoying and I definitely respect their necessity in nature but I am a bit scared of ants because. Still I won't hurt them when I find them, I just leave them be and let them be ants in my yard. We use temperature to discourage them from moving in.

I realized that Queen Amy is actually missing part of her leg. She may have moved away from the group due to the other queens attacking her. Let's hope that Queen Amy will be safe, and not dead. Also, I have a name suggestion for them: -The Golden Flare

[@ballpro126]

Tbh, I find it most likely Amy is infertile along with the other dead queens you removed. It's also possible the surviving queens determined there wasn't enough space or resources to support more than those they have left. I also find it more lively the 2 queens "checking" on Amy are more likely making sure she hasn't moved since the last time they checked her and that she was likely dragged into that spot by the others. Survival of the new colony is paramount to them all at this point and an infertile queen would only be a hindrance and burden. Just a different possible perspective on it though.

[@Watchyt-hdyh37s]

If this colony survives they will be absolutely massive! I cant wait for future updates. I am still so happy we have the new AC home so we can have projects like this.

Mikey, if there are more queens being "exiled", will you set up a second nest? One for the "mean girls" and one for the "sweet nerds"? Good luck with whatever you decide to do!

[@AntsCanada]

Yes, if oligogyny continues to happen I will definitely have to give them a bigger setup so the queens don't have to be near each other.

[@quillclock]

seems like they have been taking Amy's brood and attacking her. . . she's missing a front leg and seems very skittish whenever another queen enters her chamber

[@pandammonia234]

@@quillclock yeah 100%. i don't see the "rosy" friendship he sees

[@SweetCloud_039]

@@pandammonia234 I see what you mean. Maybe the two visiting queens are just sent out to check for brood. But then again, Queen Amy hasn't yet shed her wings. She could be thinking about nesting far away from the bossy queens as someone suffering from school bullies would want to get away and have some peace. I think we should separate the Queen Amy before she's killed. Then again, she may have been injured before released into the set up.

Mikey, the messages in your videos are truly special. I am glad that you have kept in touch with the friends that helped you through. This week, I was studying at my pool when I saw a large trail of black ants near my feet. When a mosquito landed on me, I killed it and placed it in the trail. The mosquito was immediately transported back to the nest.

[@elliot8737]

I wake up for these videos. Bullies are everywhere. It's how you handle it and move forward with yourself. Anything is possible with the proper attitude and determination.

Cheers yall!

[@merrysuriani8346]

The part when Queen Bridgette and Bella conforting Queen Amy brought me tear, i never thought nature can brought emotions too. It was nice Amy still has her 2 best friends. Such a nice creature

[@kevinpoe8137]

Interestingly enough, some ant species, like Myrmecocystus mexicanus, do form queen sororities during the colony founding period, but with those species this sorority is short lived and one queen (usually the original inhabitant of the claustral chamber) will start killing the others until she is only one left

[@AntsCanada]

Isn't pleometrosis savage?! Formica are notorious for doing this, as well.

Yup and this style of colony founding is depicted in the documentary Empire of the desert ants, highly recommended

[@Redd0w]

I relate to queen Amy, I have always been the weird kid in school and I would get bullied frequently. I’m autistic and I have been finding it increasingly difficult to socialise with people irl due to how so many people have been treating me poorly. Luckily I have just left high school so I’m hoping that things will get better from now on. I also have a small friend group who were the only people I felt truly comfortable with in my school as they are very nice to me and have been through tough times themselves so we are all there for each other. It’s unfortunate that you had to go through bullying too, but look at you now! You have an entire building full of ants and almost 5 million subscribers. Thank you for making great content, you are truly inspirational.

[@kitwhitfield7169]

Hang in there lovely. You deserve kind people, and once you get out of school people start to chill out and be nicer. You enjoy the friends you have; here’s wishing you more! xxx

Outstanding episode, it’s always interesting to see how other species on the planet function, and how in some cases are not all that different from humans.

[@davidsmith8997]

Or how humans are not that different from animals. Reminds me of human bullying from an evolutionary perspective: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKDPg3h3erB0jrM .

[@fallenarchangelgaming3621]

AntsCanada... I am rooting for Amy and her 2 friends. If the driving off behavior is truly occurring I hope the more dominant queens drive off Amy's 2 friends and then Amy and her friends start a colony together. As mean as that may sound it would offer the 3 most kind queens a greater chance to thrive.

[@Tri7on]

I don't think they'll go anywhere. By the sounds of it, they drive them to another part of the nest, and once antscanada moves them to a proper terrarium there will be no shot of distinguishing them from other queens, so if the alpha queens want those ones dead, they will be. Careful what you wish for haha. It's not like they're in the ground and can just leave and make a new colony, that's make believe xD

[@fallenarchangelgaming3621]

@Tri7on it's funny as hell you don't think that if the other two girls are driven off that our boi won't separate the 3 from the more dominant queens so they can form their own colony together. It's a huge wait and see type of thing and I hope they do drive Amy's friends from their group so they can join her instead. The 3 seem to like each other and if the two friends are driven from the dominant queens' group and join Amy to make a colony together then I have no doubt they would be successful together. I don't think AntsCanada is that unbelievably heartless towards Amy and eventually her friends. He'll most likely rig a separate setup for the 3 dociles. Also... ants are far smarter than you realize. They will be able to tell the 3 apart from their little group purely by smell alone. Each queen carries the smell of their own original nest. This makes each one extremely distinctive from the others. So no. They're gonna end up with separate terrariums most likely so the more dominant queens don't harm the kinder ones. And if what I think is going to happen does indeed happen and the 3 girls are driven off then I know he will put the 3 kinder queens into a separate starting setup. They are basically proven to be able to work together with each other. That and those two girls and AntsCanada are sympathetic to Amy and her plight. That and he pays such close attention to his setups that I can promise you he will not let Amy and the 2 other docile queens be killed if they get driven out and manage to flee without dying as Amy did. If this happens he'll probably transfer the three from the section Amy is residing in and swap it for a replacement section and put on a new feeder slot for Amy and her friends.

[@Tri7on]

@@fallenarchangelgaming3621 did you watch the video? Because when I say 'driven off' I just meant to another part of the colony. You also inferred alot of things off what I was saying. He even said it's a bit of a social experiment on what will happen. They've likely killed 3 queens already, I just dont think it's likely he will be able to seperate them before any more of nature takes over once they're in an actual terrarium. Because sending them off to another part of the terrarium is normal for these ants.

[@fallenarchangelgaming3621]

@Tri7on to me driving off means to basically force them to leave the main area. This could either occur through murdering them or chasing them out. I also didn't 'infer' anything. You did that on your own bud. I didn't do any 'fantasy' scenario. I simply considered possible scenarios that may actually truly happen. Again. Our boi keeps a remarkably close eye on his founder colonies. And yes. I watched the entire video.

Pleometrosis rarely leads to poligyny. The reason for forming queen alliance is not to form a poliginic colony, but to provide as much workforce as possible during first year of the colony. After workers are hatched, most of the queens will probably be killed off.

[@AntsCanada]

Well, it depends on the species. Some species are very pleometrotic and don't fight at all into colony maturity, e.g. black crazy ants. I suspect yellow crazy ants are the same.

[@kempo79]

@@AntsCanada black crazy ants, as far as I know, don't have nuptial flights and form new colonies by division. So pleometrosis doesn't occur there at all. But as I said - pleometrosis RARELY leads to poliginic colony - that doesn't mean it's impossible and doesn't happen at all. Don't confuse pleometrosis with poliginy though. Poliginic colonies are usually formed by accepting extra queens by large colonies, not by pleometrosis (alliance of queens after nuptial flight).
