Unfortunately I can't take photos of the Queens today... The two queens I have are tiny and brown-gold if this helps

8-10mm is not what I would consider tiny.
I'll have to look up some better keys when I get home in a few weeks. Looking through lists of genera for possible candidates is tiring on my phone.
In the meantime, do try to get detailed photos
Here's a guide for getting great photos.

And remember to crop your photos before uploading.

I have photos of my second queen http://s1253.photobucket.com/user/angelosvas/media/IMG_20180515_180218_zps6ntkc4wi.jpg.html?hotlinkfix=1526401307981
I know this is not the best photos but for a reason my phone wont zoom on the queen very well....
I can't take picture the queen with eggs because I don't want to scare her...

Hello again
Today I found another one queen in the same nest and the size of the queens are 6-8mm and not 10
The nest is in a rocky wall and the workers are very tiny I guess 4-6mm if this helps to identify them
