Ant colony queen replacement

[Northmatrix136]

I know this is very late but a few days ago someone identified a queen I caught as a parasitic lasius species of some sort. As mentioned before I have another colony who is probably also a lasius species, could I replace their dead queen with this queen? Sorry if this is a really dumb question, I've only got about a year's worth of antkeeping experience

I would say that if you want to risk your queen ant dying then that is fine. But if you don't want your queen ant to die, I would suggest not introducing it to the colony because you never know if the colony of ants are gonna ever accept her as their new queen.

Yeah I agree sorry about your colony
