I found over 40 queens just on my driveway and I don't know what species these are.

Do you expect us to somehow identify it with the “information” you gave us? We need pictures and would prefer if you followed the ID format.

Location? Country if not the US nor Canada (Province/state for the US and Canada). For me it looks like lasius americanus to be honest.

Probably Lasius, but please, follow the format and post in the correct subforum next time.

Hi there! I went on a 6 month or so hiatus, in part due, and in part cause of the death of my colonies. 

However, I went back to the Sierras, and restarted my collection, which is now as follows:

Aphaenogaster uinta, Camponotus vicinus, Camponotus modoc, Formica cf. aserva, Formica cf. micropthalma, Formica cf. manni, Formica subpolita, Formica cf. subaenescens, Lasius americanus, Manica invidia, Pogonomyrmex salinus, Pogonomyrmex sp. 1, Solenopsis validiuscula, & Solenopsis sp. 3 (new Sierra variant).

Lasius americanus is not parasitic.
