Wow. That's a good amount of colonies. You should have no problem getting someone to take them. I just took all but my largest chromaiodes (400+ workers) colony out of hibernation. They have a few more days left.

I agree. I can only find two or three a year, if I'm lucky. 

 

There also is a town called Harrisburg in South Dakota.

Last year I caught 79 queens of (from greatest amount to least) Camponotus chromaiodes, pennslyvanicus, subbarbatus, nearcticus and americanus from a single flight in the evening on April 11th.

I guess it depends on the region. This year I caught 100 Solenopsis molesta queens. I just brought the remaining 30 or so out of hibernation. All of them share a test tube....
