What Are The Easiest Live Queen Ants Colonies For a Beginner Ant Keeper?

Beginner-friendly species are Lasius Niger - Black Garden Ants, Lasius flavus - Yellow Meadow Ants, Myrmica rubra - Red Fire Ants and Messor barbarus - Common Black Harvester Ants. Lasius species are native to the UK. We'll recommend getting the Messor barbarus ant colony. Their queen ant is way bigger and more interesting. Also, they have major and super-major worker ants along with the normal-sized ones and their main food is seeds.

When starting your ant care journey, it's important to choose the right ant species for your experience level. The black garden ant (Lasius Niger) is an excellent choice for beginners, as they are relatively easy to care for and adapt well to various nest structures. These ants thrive at room temperature and should be kept away from direct sunlight to prevent over-heating.
