I recently caught a Lasius Umbratus queen so I was hoping someone may be willing to sell me some Lasius workers and brood. If not, I may be a small Lasius colony. I'm from Sheboygan, Wisconsin. I would prefer to meet somewhere so there are no shipping fees. I'm willing to drive to location if it's not too far.

Where are you from Jake? we have a colony which the queen passed away and the nanitics/brood could easily be host for an umbratus. (cancel that, I see you are in the USA and i don't know how to delete this post) Sorry bud

You can keep her in hibernation until spring and get your hosts then, when lasius are actve. Also, you’ll need callows, which are newly eclosed workers.
