Acorn empire moving!

On Saturday, I looked into the Acorn Empire’s old test tube, which was quite moldy, and only saw a few workers inside. I then decided to look in their new test tube nest and found the whole colony inside it. I proceeded to disconnect the old tube, plugged the open end of the vinyl tube so they didn’t escape, and tapped the few stragglers into the outworld so they could rejoin the colony. Once the old tube was empty, I cleaned it for reuse.
