According to that, 70.1% of the population makes less than $3.65/day (2021 numbers). If the comment in this thread about a queen selling for $200 is accurate, you can probably afford to put a lot of human labor into collecting.
would be really funny if the guy put out a bounty of like 50 bucks for a queen and word got around so fast he ended up with too many and he might as well try to sell them back home
Feels like it would be easier to smuggle a handfull then start farming them
Farming non-native species can be incredibly difficult.
Harder than digging and collecting then smuggling 2000 ant queens?
If you’re using Kenyan labor, I imagine that the collecting is probably pretty inexpensive. Wages in Kenya probably aren’t going to be very high.
