I found these four Forelius sp. queens on July 27th 2013, walking in a trail along with workers from their colony, just outside of Caspers Regional Park in Southern California.
I put all four of them in a test tube along with five or so workers, and very shortly after, they started laying more eggs.

Update 9-16-2013
These queens laid a little pile of eggs at first, but slowly they all seem to have disapeared. All of the workers have died off by now too.

Two of the queens just died, leaving only one queen and no workers or brood.

Who knows. I collected them while they were moving their nest, and this last living queen I don't think ever laid any eggs while I had her.

Very odd.
