Hello there,
I'm pretty new to antkeeping and so fat only have a Lasius Niger colony. I have another colony on the way of which the queen is yet to be identified and now I caught a Lasius Fuliginosus queen (self ID, was pretty obvious). The issue is that I can't find brood and at least one worker to introduce to her so I was wondering whether I should give her away or set her free and hoped to find the answer here.
She has been captive for two days in a test tube setup, I gave her some sugar today and she still has her wings so she may not have mated.

Not sure how quickly the queens start laying eggs. You might want to keep her in the dark for about a week or 2 and then check in again. She should have ample food supplies in her body.
