Congratulations Jim! You definitely have worked very hard with establishing a colony. I'm glad that you didn't give up. I knew it would happen. As Steve stated; now your colony will grow & grown. Enjoy!

Thanks Mike. I had one of my female arrived this morning and my male went craze. She is his mate because they went in the same gourd for awhile. I think I will see more and more coming now. I hope that you have a great season.
