It always depends first on the species and if they are polygyn (more than one queen allowed). I wouldn't recommend this until both colonies would have had an about equal amount of workers. Sometimes they start fighting and there by killing each other. I would keep them seperate. What species is it? That is if you know.
Doing some proper research is the best way to start an antcolony.
