I think /u/Pelican_vendor has crabs. He might ship you a queen.

Crazy thought --- ask on /r/beekeeping .

They won't know directly -- but:

Is there a reason it would be on a market? Is it illegal to start your own colony or anything of that sort?


[14 Points] CodenameMolotov:

Google "buy ant queens" and your region and you will find websites for it. There are ways to buy queens legally and clearnet websites that don't care if they break this law. Generally they will only sell you local species. Also one place near me wants you to pass a knowledge test before getting a queen.

bump i'm interested in this as well. I remember buying an ant colony as a kid and being totally distraught that the colony was going to die and they would not ship me a queen. Fuck that BS. I want to LORD OVER MY ant colony and see my empire expand. not see it widdle away!

I will buy an ant queen for my empire!

Yes Bruce. But there are so many, I'm finding it hard to pick just one.

How would it get shipped without getting all fucked up in transport?

I've seen turtles get shipped but they're taped down and have a hard shell.

This thread is how I learned that "illegal ant queens" are a thing.

does it have to be anonymous? cgants.com has been a pleasure to work with


[1 Points] Bingohead:

You can get ants outside their not even illegal anymore

This actually could totally destroy an ecosystem by introducing a non-native, invasive, alien species which could outcompete or infect the ecosystem. So think before you do some dumbshit like this... you're not just playing with somebody you could metaphorically fuck the whole dog and destroy the ecosystem in your locality

Imo that's why entomologists wouldn't do this
