Could this, GULP, be Crematogaster cerasi?

Crematogaster, but she could be one of the other species. They can't be identified without a view of the hair coverage on the top of their mesosoma/thorax.
If you enjoy my expertise and identifications, please do not put wild populations at risk of disease by releasing pet colonies. We are responsible to give our pets the best care we can manage for the rest of their lives.

That would most likely be after hibernation.
An ants' strength can be rivaled by few animals compared to relative body size.
