25/3/16 For the next 7 days, there will be an exclusive offer to members here. Anyone purchasing a Queen only, will get a Queen with 1-5 workers instead. Obviously, whilst stocks last.

Jon.

Biggest species from the Messor genus is Messor cephalotes and those you won't find for less than £1000 per Queen :o.
