30 Apr 0700 Set r ready. By 0800 the ants were
swarming, so much so the HF refused to land.
The ♂ I wanted (ZC54) was not much in evidence.
He Finally went in @@ 0830, but the BF was
also inside r I didn't want her. The ants
calmed down @ 0930, and ZC54 Finally went
in at 1010, while 9 1969 was also inside. I
bled both (to put a ring of cutters around
the hole) and took to lab. I did a final
bleed after 1 hr and lapped ♂ r gave him
control implants (on same side r thru same
hole as lap - this is different From yesterday
where I lapped one side r implanted the other).
Incidentally, they fed (esp BM + BM) during
the worst of the ants. See cap recs.
