Not to argue, but IMO most states north of south Alabama or Texas need hibernation. Because of the mountainous region Utah is in they have much of the same weather as us. Personally, I wouldn't consider Utah a "southern" state. But with so many queens it would be great to split it and see if you can get is year around. Best of luck, Vex

Gen 2 already?! Wow 😮

It really helps keep them separated

Put pictures, all are helpful

My sad little setup gotta catch more this year!

This was before that

What colonies are you thinking of (species) ? Also, multiple colonies could probably smell each other through the cotton and IMO I don't think it would be a good idea.

Great! I gotta get a pheidole, come hunting with me 😁

Also a bit more light

Can't wait to see the colony grow!

Nanitics! Yay!

Camponotus chromates is one of them (10mm found in April; 3rd from bottom)

Nice, well thought out post!

Looks cool! You should build some more!
