Well Sunday night hear just been watching the ants busy at cutting and today been got kale for them and grape and privet leaves they are growing the fungus each day when I wake up I go see and you can see how busy they was at night as they leaves all gone and fungus is dark green gray colour and it's cool how they sort out the waste tho turning it over and over one side leafs in fungus nest lot take the waste out o think it's getting lot more interesting as getting more workers born but night time best time to watch them tho but I can't stay up all night to watch them :( am thinking of getting a micophone to put in the tank when they find food I want hear the noses they make some times I can hear noises in the nest tank tho are they talking to the queen etc like I say it's getting more and more interesting now as colony getting bigger well time log out and end of a month with them 2mz is a new month with them :)
