Question

What species of ants can have multiple queens?

The word "species" are plural, I need to know more than one type of ant.

(Their scientific names would be appreciated too, but not necessary in your answer.)

Answer 1

Some Formica species will have multiple queens, the best example would be Formica rufa (the red wood ant) but I wouldn't advise keeping those. Formica lemani can have multiple queens but I have found, from the colonies I have kept, after a few years the queens slowly become rivals and are ejected from the nest, leaving one dominant queen.
