Queen ant distinguishing

Hi everyone,
I was hoping someone could describe to me how to distinguish between a lasius niger queen and a lasius flavus queen. Nuptial flight seasons for both would be helpful too.

Thanks
Keeper of: Lasius Niger
Lasius Flavus
Myrmica Rubra

As far as I know, Lasius Niger is dark brown and Lasius Flavus is light brown or yellowish brown.
Doing some proper research is the best way to start an antcolony.
