These queens are polygnous as there are 3 of them in the same test tube with 2 workers and they are getting along fine.

Tetramorium, and other Semi-Polygonous species will get along months after the first workers. If they aren't polygonous, then they will still fight.

They also have a distinctive lump type thing just behind their head if that helps.
