Care tips?

I have most likely caught a Camponotus nearcticus or possibly Camponotus caryae queen (thanks batspiderfish for the id). How do I take care of her? Is she fully claustral? Polygyne? Sorry I am still fairly new to this ant keeping thing.

Camponatus queens are fully claustrial queens and are usually molygenous only one queen, you can give her a little honey before she starts her colony

Ya, both of these are monogyne. All Camponotus are fully claustral.
