Hello Fellow Formicarians :)

 I think I have Lasius Niger living in my garden, please  help identify.
I'd like to know If I am right that the species living in my garden is indeed Lasius Niger :)
I lured them out with a piece of honey soaked bio tissue.

All the ID-template questions I could awnser:

I made these pictures in my backyard in Velserbroek Netherlands just now.

Just now is June 20th 2023 @ 00:25AM (local time)

They live in between the bricks around my garden.

They are about 2 to 3 mm max.

To me they look black with golden bands on the abdomen.

Can't tell you anything about the nest because it's probably under the stones.

Here are my best images I can make (few  out of 100 triest (at least)):
