Thanks for all the feedback everyone. Sorry for the choppy audio in some parts of the video. Looking to get a better microphone soon.
+SoulSlicer 9000 yep
i like your videos its helped me learn the ways of ants and how they work
Thanks Tyler, great to hear.
why did you steal so many queens ????
I catch queens in order to raise and observe them and I often distribute some to others who wish to do the same.
Now teach me how to raise my children.
lol
Just do the same as in the video. You need of course a bigger tube.
And some lube.
Easy feed them clean them torture them I'm a small container done
Fando The Fox wtf lol
Never thought a 12 minute ant video would interest me
Lmao same
I liked this video.
yep...
Same
same lol
There was an ad in the middle of this about a ant killing spray .-.
HHAHAHAHAH
Bbbbut- Sugar ants are annoying whilst inside your walls- Snackin’ on the candy you have collected-
OMG HAHAHA
Omg
Haha
Mom : what are you watching ? Me : it's complicated
Mom! You are making me antsy.
i wonder if aliens study us like this.
+. Maybe we are already in a test tube but we don't notice because it's too big?
Or may be I AM in a massive simulation system lab of the aliens. And you guys are not real.
+Abubakar Sidikh they could be
+Abubakar Sidikh our universe is so big that it is highly lighly that we are not alone in the universe
+Tan Anh Tran He's figured us out... MOVE IT! SWITCH PROJECTORS!
I really don't like ants, but this is making me want to raise ants...
same here xD
me too
Yeah, I used to think that ants were annoying little pests that would eat food from our hose, but now I really just want to raise a bunch of ants! c: Thanks so much for this awesome video! c:
*house XD
It makes me feel like god :D
no one: absolutely no one: me on youtube at 3 am: how to raise a queen ant

Hello fren
+DandelionDonkey same bro welcome to the family

Same
“I wanna make the area as natural as possible for the queen, so I put her in this test tube.”
Yeah, what?
Lmao
slim shady dude ☠️🤣😭
Lamao
You not an ant keeper are you
why am I watching this- I'm not even planning to catch a queen-
yeah, me too. KZhead recommendations are weird
Ignore me *i don’t even want one* *next day might as well just catch one for fun *
Thanks
*Oof all of us*✌🏻
Same lol
*SHE PROTECC* *SHE ATTACC* *BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY* *SHE'S THICC*
*AS HECC*
chill out dude's thats an ant
*NOCC*
OVERATED
She protecc She attac But most importantly *SHE A SNACC*
"Mary, where are the children?" "Sorry, i got stressed out."
Lol
Why am i watching this? I'm not even trying to raise an ant colony.
its interesting,i know XD
Nikkechu^ XD I have been watching ant videos for an hour now, so yea its very intresting
Same, haha.
ikr
ssaaameee
Mom: Good night Me(at 3 am):
keks Tetz Sameeeee
6:01 I would also like to add that I personally found it useful to put sometime underneath the testube so it doesn't roll in the container as this can be stressful to the queen.
I want a guy who will pay attention to me as much as this guy does with ants 😭
Aisha Ahmed When I get a gf she will be MY queen
*whe eze* that was adorable considering your Age
VIKING lol
Ramen Noodles r/niceguys
Main hoona... Contact me
I don't even want to do ant keeping.. I just love watching the progress of ants!
You're not alone although this video appeared in my recommendation list for some reason.
+JonatasAdoM same haha
+Emrald pop Hi doctor.
This was a life saver to actually witness I caught some queens a couple days ago unexpected and had to set them up in cups untill tubes arrive and was worried about moving them in case they started laying but watching a queen move her brood has put me at ease thank you so much
*Watches Video* Me: This is Cool!, I’ll get One :D *Gets Bitten by some Lost Ant* Me: Nvm...
Just a fact: female ants do all the work. An ant can carry 10 times its own weight. Most ants are deaf.
XxGhianxX Did you make your own Profile? Wow nice Art
@@alex7206jeong simp
I like to de-stress myself by listening to this guy. He got a very nice calming voice.
Try listening to Yandere Dev's voice. 😊
Same here
Acosteaa I hate his voice. Makes me angry.
Listen to Alan Rickman's voice. It's very calming too
LOL
No god damn clue how I got here but I have a large desire to create an ant colony now lol
Me too
Lol welcome to the hobby xD
Same 😂😂😂
my parents prob wont let me XD ill just say its a science experiment for my school
lel me too
3:46 This is the cutest insect ever..never thought i'd say that in my life time
“After a month, if the queen hasn't laid any eggs, it’s maybe..”-it’s maybe I caught the wrong ant
Lol that's me
Just to get this clear, if I randomly find a queen walking through my backyard, she doesn't belong to a colony, right? Otherwise, she would be underground....right?
That's right. A queen that's out in the open would be in the process of searching for a suitable nesting location in order to begin her own colony from scratch.
***** Is it weird that I find the queen very cute.....x3
Yes, yes it is.
@Diabetic Alien are you actually diabetic?
Sol Noury Yea, buddy!!!!!
I'm not into ant keeping, this was just a recommended video, but dang now I kind of want to be an ant keeper
I can bet the ants would feel like a slave........
+Danish lilya I don't think so, probably just like a roommate, cause we don't take anything from them, we just tell them where they're allowed to be and they do what they would do in the wild.
Yes. I live on my side of the room, he lives on his.
Me to
haha me 2 man
Is it sick that I want to raise 2 colonies and when I feel they’re of equal strength connect them and watch a battle of the colonies?
😂😂
Sure would be interesting to watch, but sooner or later one of the colonies would die. But tbh that's Something I would Love to watch too
Yes it is
Yes. Just don't
Lmao i already do it
Me yesterday: Damn ants are sneaking in again! Me today: What if I raised my own colony to combat them?
Better get a strong species
Now that's what I call manipulation of lower classes 😎 - dipping my toes straight into politics on the internet (plz, don't reply)
@@breadyogurt3957 reply
Lol
I have absolutely *zero* intentions to make an ant colony, but I watched all 3 videos. Why?
maybe its interesting?
procrastination :-)
I'm in the same boat. this is way interesting
+Cindy Phan (シズク) hello pham,I am procrastinating right now..what is my life
There is another two?! Yay! And me neither but youtube suggests me this.. quit interesting though.
Shit i lost myself in youtube again! Damn auto play
same thing happen to me but I stilled watched it
+Marco De La Hoya yeah definitely
saame. XD
Nice bruhhh
same lmfao
I originally tapped on this video because I wanted to raise a queen ant. I just got bit by 2 ants. Never mind, I don't want to raise ants anymore.
😂
Just find more passive ants. Some bite/sting less or not at all.
Move to Washington we are cruel-ant free
You know there are ants called carpenter ants right?
I think their sting is actually beneficial to you, similar to a bee's. And don't expect to raise fire ants and not get bit.
I’ve watched maybe 30 of these videos but I cant stop. Im definitely getting an ant colony one way or another
I found a fire ant colony and i got two ants one is male one is female i think?
I got a carpenter queen ant
as much as i hate ants, i think they're pretty cool.
yeah
cute for me
***** lol yeah. Except spiders.
I can now add this skill to my resume.
Nice!! I'll have 1million pets!
Don't forget to name them
Don't forget to name them

Petya1239 same now I looking for queen ants

+Ben Biberdorf is the government man lmao
Me too but this is kinda interesting
+Legit1Up I ended up watching how yellow crazy ants kill crabs that was interesting
*stares at the big hole in my door* *Pretty sure I need a tutorial on how to get rid of a colony of ants in my door*
3 years on and still one of the best tutorials out there
Am I the only person that thinks the queen feels so lonely and sad? ;-;
Only if you project human emotions on non-human ants.
No they don’t Feel lonely or sad but still it’s good that you think about them
The queen won't need to run away from the boys.
Idk but the queen will lay eggs and when the brood develops there will be worker ants to help here
This comment is so cute haha
Make a video on how to raise a Queen Alien (Xenomorph).
Not the best idea, but it could be fun.
facehuggers... facehuggers everywhere!
Famous last words.
Those guys in alien 4 could have used a video like that
ALIENS AUSTRALIA

Smurf -Mobile Legends easy ac family. Oopss wrong again !
What are you thinking its not antscanada
A very helpful video for a newbie ant keeper ... thank you!
I'm never gonna watch ant videos anymore, now I've got the feeling there are ants on me.
I get that feeling only from spiders
I watched this and i thought an ant was crawling on me i was rolling😂
Same!
I know
OnceFandom me too😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫

lol same
Procrastination at its Finest
Stop acting like this is crazy. They're just fucking pets!
3:25 for me
It's 3 a.m. where I'm at, my boyfriend is asleep next to me, and I'm watching this shit with the most focus I've had in years. What's happening???
You are legend mate. Great work
Quite entertaining. And detailed explaination about ant queens. Im kind of interested in catching ones now.
I am a bug lover (I have 3 Praying Mantis!) and even though I raise ants, watching your videos of them growing makes me so happy to have success and care for those smart creatures, people always don't really look at their great powers and capabilities!
I agree, I think ants are underrated just because you see them every day!
DaddyHornet 2131 Yea, they are probably smarter then a human at times!
when u say ''catch another queen'' i get the feeling that im watching or playing pokemon
The Lonely One lol true
That is basically what you do. You literally will get a couple of test tubes, and look for wandering ant queens.
Gotta catch em all
Cheers, very interesting and informative. Just had my first queen delivered today your video helped alot
A very good guide Simple and straight
🐜🐜🐜I hate ants but this makes me want to raise them. I have no idea how I got here but I've been down the ant hole of KZhead for hours 😂🐜🐜🐜
Awww, I felt pretty happy seeing the Queens work pay off and her finally seeing her first generation of babies. The Cycle of Life just went full swing, The Queen can die at peace now. WHO PUT THIS BOWL OF ONIONS HERE?!
Loooooool 😭😂
I did :3
the collonies gonna die if the queen die so.....
Why are they gonna die? :(
I put onions so you would cry you a crybaby XD 😂
That was a great video. Very informative, covering most of the important details and tricks for the new keeper. No loud music and no robot voice. Many thanks. Chris UK. Subscribed.
Thank you. So informative. We were worried about what to do about the discolouration of the water in the test tube. We'll definitely be offering her new digs now.
All I know is that I've about a year ago watched some guy pour molten aluminum into an anthill, and now these videos showed up in my recommendations. What the hell. But these are great, keep up the good work.
w0t
I DID THE SAME
+Clorox Bleach dude I see you everywhere
Horny Fruit Flies same wtf???
it's called ant hill art
Even though I do not have a ant colony or anything of the sought, I still found this video very interesting. I'm actually starting to think about getting/making my own ant colony.
That's great!
Same here!
Nice! 😀
I'm falling in love with the voice😱😍💖
Wow!!! I'm really amazed on your patience by giving all of your time and effort studying the behaviors of ants. Never thought of someone that gives a lot of attention on ants, Just Wow!!!
watching these videos remind me how beautiful insects can be
How the hell was this in my recommended videos..
you must like ants
Same XD
looked thru my history, i searched nothing about bugs
same
+Dreamy ! ok see other insects
Omg this was so helpful, as soon as I caught two queens I ran in and looked up this video lol.
Your awsome thanks for all the tutorials:)
Why am I even watching this. What am I doing with my life.
I'm sure there's nothing better you could do
knowledge
I was watching an NFL video how did I get here
thank you so much for this comment
Exactly
I've never even considered housing ants, but this was a very educational video. Your voice is also quite nice to listen too, thanks for uploading!
Glad you enjoyed!
11:20 she looks so proud and happy with her children💕
Those are workers wtf-
@@aquables and where do you think they came from?
@@enting2585 LMAOO
While watching this video i feel like something just crawled on my legs.

Thanks for the advice
I am so high. How did I come across this video
literally same
lol i was gonna ask the same thing
Fuck man the weed is telling us something
fuuuckk me too
we're all here for no reason
ants are intelligent beautiful creatures
a small loan of a million d0llars very true
a small loan of a million d0llars true
a small loan of a million d0llars spiders are better
AGREED
a small loan of a million d0llars but sometimes it isnt beautiful especially when they bite into you, it hurts like hell
VERY INFORMATIVE.Thank you because I am doing research to start my own colony. I bought nice formacation and now just looking to buy a queen ant because it's winter up here in Massachusetts now.
This is awesome I will never know if u not upload this video
You sound like an Australian Rick and Morty....
lmao
I'm not really looking to start any colonies but I find this fascinating. The editing and the narration is really good and I appreciate you putting a lot of effort into making these videos. You are clearly passionate!
Thank you :)
Awesome vid very informative, Thanks👍🏻
Fantastic video. Thank you
This is actually relaxing
7:32 is kinda creepy
"Today in the news, 37 female high school students were found being held hostage inside this man's house. The motive is not yet known, but theories suggest that all of them being 'queens' at their school might have something to do with it." Wow that is really messed up.
+Mrnat there's actually 37 there
ynot01 Well I can't remember if I saw that specific number somewhere, or if I just pulled it out of the sky, so I'll edit it.
HEY GUYS CHECK OUT MY FUCKING STASH OF LIKE 30 QUEEN ANTS
Very exciting! Thanks
And now teach me how to raise my classmates
I'll be honest, I wound up here getting lost in KZhead. Still, thumbs up. I've never learned so much about ants.
