Is this a social parasite?
I don't know what kind of queen this is but I think it's a social parasite if it is do I let go? Because I don't know how to catch brood or which brood to catch, how will I know?

Awesome! I don't have anymore test tubes so what should I do? Right now I have her in a water bottle with holes in it

She may not survive if you don't give her a proper space to start her colony. You can try using 1/4" vinyl tubing plugged with two pieces of cotton, one which you will need to keep moist. Other transparent, improvised, test-tube like objects would probably do the trick as well.
If you enjoy my expertise and identifications, please do not put wild populations at risk of disease by releasing pet colonies. We are responsible to give our pets the best care we can manage for the rest of their lives.
