Reasons why Carpenter ants are my favorite

[TalANTFlame]

i caught three camponotus novaeboracensis queens when i looked under a board they had brood camponotus are my dream ant because i love the super majors and the ants i genral are so big but i want to make them a supercolony becue i like the thought of having security queens i.e. queens that can backup if one dies but so far theve just fought for hours on end any help or expierienses or even information on polygeny would be very helpful ty

I thought that camponotus species were monygyne. Is this species an exception or something
