Honestly, I have 6 colonies. Only 1(Camponotus subbarbatus) I found in her chamber with no workers and few eggs in early march. 3 (Aphaenogaster and Tapinoma) I found by accident but only had 15-25 workers tops when I found them. And the other 2 (Camponotus subarbatus) just had nanitics, one had 3 and the other 5. I have yet to find one out and about
but it takes time. And I am hoping with the weather today and next few days I get lucky! It just takes time and patience.
Oh, and I only had 1 colony and I found the rest by accident searching for termites to feed them. They LOVE termites!

Not long, probably about a week, or two.

Literally it's been taking me over 4 months and I still haven't found a queen.

You've gotta just relax and give yourself time.
