I found these guys in my garden and have been watching them for awhile! I love them and their little farms! Look at them, aren't they just the cutest? And the poor lady bugs have to watch in frustration because these guys don't let them anywhere near their aphids. I want to catch a queen and start my own little colony of herders but I don't know anything about these little guys. Can yall help me ID them so I can figure out when they fly and make sure to catch me a queen?

These are Crematogaster,. Worth noting that they actually often have very large colonies!
