I feel like we need names for both these two queens as well as my main one in the big colony - any ideas?

Boudica
Brunhilde
Rosemary
Mercy
Queen Butt-for-a-Butt

Queen Brunhilde is being quite monarchist lately, I can leak you that.

brunhilde was my strongest and biggest rat. she could jump so far! i bet her pups would have been mighty indeed.

Queen Brunhilde might be a kind queen to her kids, but she definitely likes to mock me.

I hope you guys somewhat enjoyed this super nerdy ride with my two additional queens!
Queen Brunhilde by the way will of course stay here with me and will then once again be the sole Emperor of this realm. By the way, her latest batch of babies also finally hatched, it is getting crowded in there! I estimate roughly 20 workers is the current total, they are by now curious, aggressive and active and they eat a lot, so it's going great there, too. I wonder how many more babies we can get out of the cooker before the long sleep begins in winter.

this makes my heart swell

eusociality is fascinating. the hive/colony/term is a potentially immortal lifeform comprised of untold discrete elements.

eusocial insects are just about the raddest creatures living on this planet

yes, i agree with this very much! the idea that naked mole rats are the singular eusocial mammal is worth diving into for a few hours at least. i used to think they were ugly but now i see them as lovely

i think the main diff between termites and ants is that aunts drink wine and termites like oaky aged sorta distilled drinks
