Looking to buy a Crematogaster scutellaris queen with eggs to start your own colony? This option includes a fertilized queen with the first eggs already laid, in a test tube prepared for colony development. Crematogaster scutellaris is a very interesting species due to its active behavior, characteristic defensive posture, and rapid growth.
What does it include?
1 fertilized queen of Crematogaster scutellaris
Visible eggs recently laid
Test tube with cotton and hydration system
Ready to begin the process of founding a cloistered or semi-cloistered building
Characteristics of Crematogaster scutellaris
A very common Mediterranean species in Spain and southern Europe
Very active and exploratory behavior
Typical defense by lifting the gaster (abdomen)
Rapid growth once the first worker worms appear
Long-lived queen: can live between 10 and 20 years
Colony generally monogynous
Recommended care
Keep the tube in a dark and quiet place.
Ideal temperature: between 23 °C and 28 °C
During the foundation stage, feeding is not necessary until the first worker bees appear (although they will accept microdroplets of honey if desired).
Check humidity every 1–2 weeks without unnecessary handling
After the first nurses, offer small insects (fly, mealworm, fruit fly) and sugary liquids
Secure shipping
The queen is shipped in a protected test tube, with a hydration system and packaging adapted to withstand shocks and temperature changes. We guarantee arrival in optimal condition.
