Hello!
Today (15/08/18) i found these queens, They are all just under 8 mm, They were found in Stockholm, Sweden and the Nuptial flights seemed to be ongoing or had just passed as they were alot of winged alates walking around, One of the Queens had a smaller gaster, i think this might be a sing of infertility as it is not white with black stripes on it like the other twos!
Unless this is Camponotus or another really interesting species i won't keep them as i have already got alot of freshly caught other queens!

I believe they are all the same species though,
Thank You for your time, GoodBye

#1: Probably Lasius Flavus
#2 Appears to be a social parasite, probably Lasius Fuliginosus
#3 Seemingly Lasius Neglectus
Also a small gaster is not a sign of infertility.

An ants' strength can be rivaled by few animals compared to relative body size.
