Flew in my area too although found no queens. Wish they weren’t early fliers based on their flight time but it is good to see that they are already starting their flights.

Keeping:

2x - S. molesta (colonies) 1x - C. nearcticus (founding) (y) New!

1x - C. chromaiodes (colony) 1x - C. subbarbatus (founding) (y) New!

2x - F. pallidefulva (colonies) 1x T. sessile (mega colony)

2x - C. cerasi (founding) workers are here!

1x - B. depilis (founding but no eggs)

2x - P. imparis (colony) 2x P. imparis (founding) Unfortunately no multi queen P. imparis colonies as all of the queens died due to fungus infection (assumed). RIP
