Description
The 16×160 mm glass tube is a key piece of equipment for any ant breeder, offering ideal conditions for queen ants and their first workers. This larger-than-standard glass tube design provides extra space, which is particularly useful in the early stages of colony formation when ant numbers begin to increase.
Key features of the 16×160 mm Glass Tube:
- High Quality Material: Made of durable, transparent glass, which guarantees long-lasting use and ease of cleaning.
- Optimum Dimensions: The 16mm diameter and 180mm length provide more space for the developing ant colony, allowing the queen and her offspring a comfortable living environment.
- Safety: The smooth edges of the tube minimise the risk of damaging the ants, providing a safe environment for the delicate creatures.
- Versatility of Use: It can be used both as a temporary nest for the queen and her first workers and for transporting ants.
- Ease of Observation: The transparent glass allows continuous observation of ant behaviour, colony development and ant health without disturbing the ants’ daily lives.
Why is the 16×160 mm glass tube essential?
Choosing a 16×180 mm glass tube is a decision that demonstrates a breeder’s concern for the welfare of his ants. The larger size of the tube provides more space for the developing colony, which is particularly important in the first months of the colony’s life. The transparent glass not only makes it easier to observe, but also allows better control of the humidity and temperature inside the tube.
Benefits of using the 16×160 mm Glass Tube:
- Increased Space: Provides more space for the queen and the growing number of worker bees, which contributes to their healthy development.
- Hygienic Conditions: The ease of cleaning the glass allows the tube to be kept clean, which is key to preventing disease in the colony.
- Educational Value: Enables breeders and observers to learn by directly observing the natural behaviour of ants and life processes in the colony.
- Versatility: The test tube can be used for a variety of purposes, from initial breeding to scientific experiments.
By investing in a 16×180 mm glass tube, you are providing your ants with the best conditions for growth, laying the foundation for a healthy and thriving colony. It is the ideal choice for ant breeders of all levels who value quality, functionality and aesthetics in their culture.
