I'm gonna try these again. I found a queen under a rock with no brood. She could have been foraging in one of her tunnels. I put her in a bead box with orange sand. Last time I couldn't get pictures because I used black dirt. There's a hole drilled on the roof that open up into a chamber. That's where I'll drop the food and any additional queens. (Every wild colony I've found has 2 or more queens even though they aren't supposed to be polygynous.) I also found a small red queen with her wings on. Could be Manica, Myrmica, or Stenamma. Fed both spring tails and the red alate some honey.
