Help with Formica fusca

Hello! I've been looking for Formica fusca queens for a month and a half now, I'm sure they exist in my area since I've caught a queen last year (that died unfortunately) and there are some colonies around here, however I can't seem to find any this year, I've been looking mostly from 13:00 to midnight at random times but I've still not found anything... Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Ants usually fly after it rained heavily or when the humidity is high for your area. So a good time to look is after rain.
Keeping:

• Cataulacus granulatus x2
• Camponotus parius
• Odontomachus sp x4
• Pheidole prava x1
• Pseudoneoponera sp x1
