Tetramorium caespitum is a species with a strong development, very easy to feed, able to develop even in winter with sustained heating.

The available queens are from the last swarm and have already laid eggs. We ship them with care and they will live in the supplied tube in total autonomy until the workers are born. Please keep them at 24-27°C during the day and wait until they are born to feed them.
