So I have recently caught 2 pheidole queens and I've been told that some pheidole species are polygnous and some are not. I'd love to have a multi queen colony as it would boost its growth and chance or survival. But is it worth the risk? I do have 9 queens currently so it wouldn't leave me queenless but it'd be unfortunate.
Any advice or thoughts?
Pheidole queen mixing, Should I?

You'd be doing this for you, not the ants.

I guess that's true, I'd rather not be a stupid "human" and stuff up a poor animal/s life for my own entertainment and curiousity. I'll leave them seperate.
