Should I feed my wild caught colony?

Yesterday I caught a queen in an already existing nest, I believe she is a Myrmica sp. (see my previous post for full story. http://forum.AntsCanada.com/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=3481&p=22648#p22648 ) She is in a test tube setup with two workers and at least 5 eggs. Should I feed her now? Or would that stress her out? I have a test tube portal so feeding would be easy.

Also, should I go back to the original colony and get more workers? (Or maybe even queens?)

Yes, to all of it.
