I seriously hope that the inquiry was legitimate and then some one above needs to apologize.

OMG you misplaced my underscore!

 

 

Anyway, somewhere I had lots of luck with queens was Marysville, WA. There's some nice suburbs in that area where Formica, Camponotus and parasitic Lasius thrive. Tetramorium have unfortunately invaded the area, so watch out for those, and look for queens in areas with low populations of Tetramorium.

Thank you for using a large font so I can still read your post when I am 120 years old (hopefully corona virus won't kill me earlier)
