The Queen Ant

I've always wanted to have an ant colony, but the ones you buy in stores only come with workers. Without a queen ant, you just have a bunch of workers running around meaninglessly until they die, not a colony.
So this evening, when Ben found a queen ant beside the refrigerator, my first thought was "ant farm!" We placed an empty plastic bottle inside a glass jar, surrounded it with dirt, and closed off the top with bug netting: instant ant farm. Now, we wait...

Future ant farm... I hope
