I recently added a heating cable for my Camponotus pennsylvanicus colony. ( it’s been cold in our coop and they have brood already, knew they’d like the warmth.) This same colony has also, much to my annoyance, insisted on keeping a small midden of what I assumed was trash in one chamber of their log. They have a big garbage pile far away in the outworld too … so I thought they were just lazy. But when I added the heating cable they moved the garbage… to another chamber (?) 1/
