I caught the second most amount pf ueens that Ip have ever caught at once. They are all crematogaster, and does anybody know how to care for them?

Proverbs 6:6-8 New International Version (NIV)

Go to the ant, you sluggard;
    consider its ways and be wise!
It has no commander,
    no overseer or ruler,
yet it stores its provisions in summer
    and gathers its food at harvest.

We caught three C. cerasi queens last year. Only one of them made it.

Loops out.

 

Three plates of super nachos. One plate supreme with orange cheese. Another plate the exact same with white cheese. Third plate is actually BBQ pulled pork on fried potato chips, and both kinds of cheese.

Lime Margarita. Blended, because that's how my genie gets'r'done. 

 

Now sit on that third wish because I've got work for you to do buddy.

They're my favorite, C.cerasi to be exact. I find that the hardest part for this species is founding. The queens has always outlasted the workers in any dying colony i've witnessed, so you know she's hardy. Once the colony reaches a large number of workers, they're pretty easy to care for as they'll keep food reserves going long enough to keep the colony alive.
