Are Pogonomyrmex polygynous? Will his remaining queens be able to forage in the same area, say, an outwirld?

It depends, I’ve heard that some species like P. occidentalis will kill each other other if put together. However I’ve had my californicus queens in pairs for over a month now and I haven’t lost any to fighting.

I keep: C. modoc, C. sansabeanus  :D, C. maritimus, Formica argentea, M. mexicanus  :D, Odontomachus brunneus :D, Pogonomyrmex californicus, Pogonomyrmex rugosus,
