Fire Palace - Fire Ants Move Into a Bin of Fresh Soil

In the AntsCanada ant room, a series of plastic containers are connected with clear tubes. “It may seem calm and quiet on the surface,” explains ant farm hobbyist and AntsCanada YouTube channel founder Mikey Bustos, “but if we take a closer look at our ant farm set up here, we’ll discover that a great nation is bustling with life, active, and non-stop on the move.”

The “massive, ravenous fire ant colony” (Solenopsis geminata) is so large that it’s time to expand its territory. In this video from 2017, Bustos provides a tour of the different containers—Fire Ant Hill, Tropic of Pyro, Solenopsis Hill, and more—and then connects a huge new soil bin named The Fire Palace.
