You need to have clear pictures of the queen as well as measurements.

Added some more photos to the original link, The workers are about 2-3mm and the queen 4-5mm
Hope this helps! any ideas are appreciated

To me, it looks like Lasius alienus, Neoniger, or niger, can you please check your measurements again, Lasius queens tend to be 7-8 millimeters. We need the date and approximate time to help us further identify her.

The Queen is roughly 7mm (my test tube was playing tricks on me before) And she was caught in January on a hot sunny day.
Thanks for the help!

Did you catch the colony or queen during nuptial flight?
