I found this queen at around 8:30 to 8:45 wandering around. Thinking it’s vicinus but want your opinions.

I’m actually mad. All I found were c. Quericola or whatever majors. What trail did you go on? We’re they actively flying or walking around?

I went on both trails but went to the straight path second and found her crawling a few yards from a nest in a tree stump.

If you guys kept going strait you would have wondered into a place with a heck ton of trees. I found 5 clarithorax and 1 quercicola. My other friend found a cola and 3-4 clarithorax.

Well I’m going tomorrow so I’ll check it out. Also I’m pretty sure this girl is a sansabeanus.
