They will be flying pretty soon in the Bay Area, so you can try catching them then. In a month or two, more sellers will have more queens/colonies available when they start flying.

If you are willing to drive down to Southern CA, both myself (Los Angeles) and the forum owner @dspdrew (Orange County) have plenty of colonies.

I have never bought from Drew, but nurbs colonies are really healthy, and usually thrive. They also come with a detailed care sheet with the next 6 months planned out for how to care for them {ants}.
