I've never heard of a polygne Lasius species, so you'd probably end up with four dead queens, one injured queen, and the same amount of workers. You'd likely make more money separating the queens and having them found separate.

Lasius flavus appears to be an exception and has been reported to be able to contain multiple queens in some conditions.

I've heard of them doing this in their founding stages, but that's as far as their relationship goes. Eventually they kill off the weaker queens. But then again, this is just what i heard.

Because splitting them would be ~3 workers each, I would sell them for 15CAD each
