Need Help ID!

So I just caught 3 unidentified Queens that seemed to be in a hibernation state. I live in Michigan and I caught them on February 3rd (today) under a big pavement stone that is in my back yard. I would love some help identifying them and some tips if they are Queens because I'm a beginner at this. Thanks to anyone that responds! :mrgreen:
Sincerely,
Zane

P.S. In one of the pictures i put my hand next to one of the tubes to try to put in perspective on the size. :D

That seems like a solid ID to me! Good luck!
