Got a genuine 2 queen atta colony for sale. It is small but growing rapidly. Looks like around 6 months old. Will accept £250 for this absolutely unique colony because I can get £125 each if I split em!

Hi Andrew the colony you sent me is doing very well the fungus garden is big to what it was, and seen lots of brood. The 2 queen atta colony will that grow twice as fast as a normal atta colony or will the workers kill 1 of the queens and keep the best.

It should be compulsory to the buyer of this colony to have a journal running for it. It will be great to see how this colony gets along, I'm on the fence about getting it for myself :D.

Dont know. I found a two queen colony around 10 years ago and it was large so they had kept the queen. It would be amazing if they kept the two of them and grew quickly. I dont really know what will happen.
