They are synonyms of Camponotus Fallax.

One queen died so i put her brood with another .

I don't think if it is good to put the brood together. As long as there are no workers and there are only larvae (or eggs) the queen has to feed them from her own reserves.

maybe it could be too much for her.

I only gave the queens pupae to her and the larvae to my solenopsis molesta.

I am starving for Camponotus right now, and yours look so nice.... I wish we could trade Lasius colonies for your Camponotus.
