Are these two colonies the same species?

I have been raising these two colonies and one has stopped producing eggs and refuses to forage for any protein I offer while the other is open to any food and is thriving with egg production. My question is are these the same species because I plan to brood boost the thriving colony.

Both colonies are Formica and similar size and color

I tried to follow the link and got this message:

Zoinks! You've taken a wrong turn.
Let's split up, gang. If you're looking for an image, it's probably been deleted or may not have existed at all.

Sorry the images didn't work but I went ahead and did it and the colony took in al the larvae and pupae and added it to their pile. One thing I've noticed is their larvae is different because the original colony has brown spots in the center and the donor colony is plain white. Also the colony is separating their larvae from the boosted larvae into two distinct piles
