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
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.
