I should have just asked on this post but it's a little different.

Majors don't get along well, and don't help much at tending brood. Get a handful of minors, it'll be best for your queen, and use the provided method to make a colony. Majors are stubborn, and generally useless for a founding queen.Do you know if this will work with majors? I have a lone Camponotus Pennsylvanicus major and a queen whose workers have all died out. She tried a few times to lay more eggs but she seems rather inept. All of her eggs/larvae have died off. If I refrigerate and introduce them do they have a good chance of getting along?
Yeah, I have done this as well. Recently had a V. pergandei with about 10 workers whose queen died, and another workerless queen with lots of pupae and larvae. I put both colonies in the fridge for about 15 min, took them out, and placed the queenless colony with the other queen and they got along fine.
