Has anyone found any of these queens in Minnesota yet? This is a species I've been really wanting. Just curious if anyone has had any luck yet this year.

Currently keeping Tetramorium Immigrans and Camponotus Pennsylvanicus in THA mini hearths.  I also have a couple Prenolepis Imparus queens in test tubes.

They should be flying right now.

I found 2 of them today. Keep them separate? Or go with a multi-queen colony?

Together because I believe most populations are polygynous.
