The formicarium (ant farm) has 2 water areas.
One in the top right chamber and one in the bottom right.

There is no need for food until the eggs hatch.
She will subsist on her fat reserves and wing muscles. (Claustral)

If the queen's abdomin was the same size as her head, the she would need to forage for food. (Semi Claustral)
