Most likely Camponotus pennsylvanicus. Where did you find this queen? Length? Please fill out the I'd form next time. Look here to find out what campinotus like to eat. http://www.formicult...ood-by-species/
She is fully cloustral, so you don't need to feed her something, however I find that honey is taken, and greatly apreciated.
