Anyone near North Dakota selling any other native species besides camponotus novaboricensis? Thanks.

I remember in one of Mikes videos in which he caught a parasitic queen ant, and talked about trying to found a colony in the past with other queens but none worked, so he said he would have to let this parasitic queen go, ect....
