I can't get my hand on a fertile queen

[EEEEEEEEEE]

I had catch like 5-7 queen ants but NONE of them is fertile. They doesn't even want to shed their wings off.
Any tips so I can get/identify fertile queen ants?

edit: I want to start an ant colony

It is a little late in the year to catch queen ants, but if you flip up rocks you might find a founding colony of ants. If you don't want to do that you could try the GAN project:https://www.AntsCanada.com/queen-ants-for-sale/ On this website you can buy queen ants that come from your area.
You could also wait until next year, you will almost certainly find a fertile queen ant.

I hope you find this helpful!

Ohh I didn’t notice where you lived. I would just keep trying, and eventually you will find one!

You may be catching them too close to an ant colony, so they haven't had flights, or you caught males(Or a parasitic species). Next time you find a queen maybe post a topic in the ant identification forum?
