What do you mean by they get stuck in it when you fed them too much honey? Did their belly get too big and got stuck in the tunnels? It sure sound like it.
I can understand why they make queen ants illegal for sale if the species is not native to the selling location. I don't see any harm done if they are just selling a native species.
They lasted about a month I believe, they probably would have lasted longer if I'd taken better care of them. And they got stuck in the honey because, well, honey is sticky! They were trapped in the honey because there was too much of it and couldn't get out so they died. They don't sell/ship queen ants because of the fact that you'd be introducing a queen that can produce over 10,000 baby ants a time into a place and potentially wreaking havoc on the native ecosystem. Ants may be native to that particular place but THAT queen ant isn't.
