Just had a quick peek at our resident Lasius N colony who live in our compost bin.
When I removed the lid, they have a lot of their larvae up on the surface cooling down and getting some air. It looks like theyโ€™ll be booming again this year ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿœ

Our new Visionโ„ข๏ธ outworlds, available in two sizes.

Featuring two front facing ports with copper tubing inserts to make connections a breeze.

The matt black base and back panel provide a stunning contrast to decor and allow for amazing photos, whilst also hiding any unsightly cables behind it.

The base is raised for your heat cable to be placed discretely underneath and has support struts to ensure full support of its contents.

A micro hole, 0.2mm, ventilated lid provides air circulation and the extra wide band of clear Perspex provides ample room for your chosen barrier to be applied.

The photos canโ€™t do the copper accents justice, with these being a stunning metallic finish ๐Ÿ˜

Only available at AntBoyUK ๐Ÿœ

๐Ÿค—Website update in progress

Look out for our new product lines, including the Vortex and Vision outworlds and a new lineup of Macro nests for colonies of all sizes.

All nests are made from Perspex acrylic which offers huge advantages over 3D prints:
- more resilient, and canโ€™t be chewed by even the most aggressive colonies.
- strip them down, wash with hot water and reuse as many times as you want. These last a lifetime.
- perfect ventilation to avoid stagnant air and keep your colony in peak health.
- no mould issuesโ€ฆever.

Further updates to come. Happy ant keeping all ๐Ÿœ

This confirms many things we know about ants, and tells us many things we donโ€™t with first time footage of colonies and queens like never seen before.

Might not look like much, but this is serous progress on the new workshop which will see us back in action in the near future.

Quick update from us, as you know weโ€™ve been very quiet of late.
We turned our online orders off last year in anticipation of a move to a new workshop. The best laid plans are often accompanied by challenges, with us being let down on several fronts after decommissioning our machines.
During this lull it gave time for reflection, reflecting on the marketplace, what we add and where we want to be.
Weโ€™ve always taken immense pride in our main business purpose โ€œINNOVATION, NOT REPLICATIONโ€.
Over the years we have developed and been first to market with:
- Blackout covers
- Multilayer nests
- Leaf cutter pods with hydrostone hydration systems and smart stats
- Smart stats in nests which report to your phone- SmartNestsโ„ข๏ธ
The list goes on, with the unimaginative manufacturers replicating our ideas as soon as they know they work. Donโ€™t believe us?โ€ฆcheck the dates on our posts vs others release dates.
Itโ€™s been noted that thereโ€™s been zero innovation since we pulled back, which was the exact position of the market when we joined and the key reason we decided to shake up a stagnant marketplace full of lazy manufacturers.
Small businesses canโ€™t patent designs and ideas, we rely on our customer base and social media friends to appreciate the immense amount of true research and development new pioneering products require and to point out those copying in front of the public.
We will be back in the next couple of months with THE BEST ORIGINAL products in the marketplace. These are tested over many, many months before listing and accompanied by our years of ant keeping experience. Donโ€™t forget, we were antkeepers before nest makers.
Thankyou for reading, all your amazing support over the years, our amazing reviews and all your messages over recent months.
We love you all ๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿœ

Over recent times weโ€™ve seen both the wonderful highs and unfortunately a few of the lows within, what is a wonderful community overall.

With this in mind weโ€™ve been working behind the scenes to bring the best names in the UK trade together, showing solidarity and working with one another to bring all our communities together to help and aid the overall growth of the hobby.
