South Dakota.

I could sell them and ship them to you but obviously not trade queens or colonies if it’s across state lines

Cooler is not better. Up here, we have the Black Hills which is filled with many diverse species.

You'll find that many of the forum pages will have offtopic details.

And California has many diverse species all over the place.

I guess we should all be content with the species in our area. Just because they are not "cool" does not mean that they are not worth keeping. I used to think lasius were not cool, as they had huge nuptial flights, and were really common. Now, i love them. I also think that everyone loves the colonies in a different area than their own, and wants to get them.
