Yes.

All three of them are Lasius, queen #3 is a fully-claustral Lasius, possibly americanus. Queen #4 and #5 are parasitic Lasius, Queen #4 coulb be Lasius fuliginosis or umbratus and Queen #5 could be Lasius claviger.

wow, thank you! I'm actually kind of surprised that someone could actually figure out the species using those pictures. I don't have a very good camera, and zooming in makes it even worse.
