Very large

The Golden Empire is an 8 Empress colony of Yellow Crazy ants, formed from colony mergers, it is very large, and has arguably become the most famous colony

## Early Days

The Golden Empire was founded from two Officially unnamed colony's(Which we of the Wiki have decided the name The Amber Force(For their Colour and Small size, as well as higher organization) and The Golden Horde(For their large size, colour and lack of organization due to only having one queen) and will be called that from now on)

The Amber Force was given to Mikey, and he intended to raise them, but prior to his first video with them he received The Golden Horde, and he decided to try a risky colony introduction.

The active and large golden horde quickly found the smaller force, which quickly decided to join the larger colony. The second queen also decided to join. The first queen, however, wanted to not join, and attemped to fight off the horde. She failed, and surrendered, joining the horde, and officially merging the two, creating the golden empire.

Later on, Mikey observed several ants not moving, dubbing it the ant mannequin challenge. He also officially christened them the Golden Empire,

## The Mike Infestation

During X-mas, the ants were given Jam and cockroaches. They seemed strangely uninterested. He quickly discovered they were infested with Mites. Having lost an old colony to Mites, he sprang to action.

### Lemon Therapy

After a twitter poll, on boxing day he sprang into action, putting lemons as well as lemon juice into the setup, and keeping the most infested areas and control zones. The Lemons were somewhat effective short term, reducing the amount of mites, and it was discovered they were not parasitic. As such, a poll was taken, and it was voted by landslide to continue the lemon therapy.

### The Golden Estate

However, the mites soon came back stronger then ever, and a mikte expert warned him to move the ants. As such, Mikey overruled the vote, and quickly decided to move the ants out. After another poll, it was decided to move the ants into a large terrarium, named Hacienda Del Dorado (Spanish for The Golden Estate) using a bright light, and attempting to prevent mites moving in, the colony soon moved in, and choose a small piece of driftwood as the main entrance point to their large tunnel network.

### Queen Introduction

At this point, he decided to introduce a new unamed colony(Nicknamed The Yellow Army, for their colour....and..."behavior") into the nest to further lower the mite population. They had a whopping 5 queens.(Generals?) The initial move went well, but Mikey soon came back to discover the Ants fighting a brutal ant war. He panic-ed, but was unsure what to do. When he woke up, however, the fighting had stopped, the bodies cleaned up, and the two colonies and merged, forming an 8 empress colony.

Soon after, the last of the mites left the Ants bodies, and went back to scavenging.
