the workers seem to feed the queen so i think they are the same colony
Most males can't eat or contribute to the colony in any way except being **** factories once they leave. They are not workers if they have wings and small heads they are males and, for lack of a better term, should be discarded.

Edit: really? Males-made reproductive cells is a banned word on an ant husbandry forum????

I would chuck out the male alates. They only feast on the already limited colony resources. I also would rather remove the workers as I have never heard or read about what happens if you manage to get some of the workers from the same colony with the queen. If they turn against the queen or support the new queen. What if they kill the new born workers? Would be a shame to see that happen. Of course this is just my worst imagination right now but that is what I would think of. I only give my opinion. Also just upload to imgur or imgure (can't remember right now) and put the link here. :)

Would love to see that leaf nest thing they made ^^
Doing some proper research is the best way to start an antcolony.
