No, don't mix them until you have expert advice. I mixed 2 queens and one killed the other within minutes. Hey just an update, I actually already mixed them! :o and these gals became BFFs!!! :D :D :D it been about 5 hours since I mixed them and they haven't ripped each other to shreds yet so id say...

So I have just caught 2 solenopsis invicta queens during there nuptial flight (they are both the same stage of colony development (no eggs)), should i mix these two? and if so what stage of colony development.

how long do you think it will take to get workers

just wow

Yes I think that you should try to save the queen. Just don't tear down the wall.
oh and you should use this.
