Here is an article about Culturing termites.

Here is some information from post #8 that you might find interesting.

Here's the payoff: unlike most social insects, termites don't need a queen. Young termites will grow into what they call secondary reproductives and lay eggs. The colony can be grown from a few hundred initial workers into a full fledged colony of thousands.
