I just found a whole colony of these ants and they had a bunch of elates ready to fly, so I want to be ready to look for them and care for them if I do happen to want one of these queens. Help would be very much appreciated!

That looks like Tetramorium Sp. E (pavement ants) they should be flying soon they fly May to end of July with most in June.

Their flights happen in very early morning (4-6am) but you should be able to find the mated queens throughout the day once they have flown
