It's anting season there know. Get out and start looking. Look in pools and on pavement and sidewalks after a rain.

It's only been a week then. Can't really tell they're infertile that quickly. Give them a chance and leave them in a dark warm area.

I would say you should wait a bit before deciding they arent fertile. Sometimes queens will take a little while before laying eggs. In regards to having to buy a queen, I would suggest just waiting. Even if it is to cold now, in the next few weeks it will be warmer and flights will be going on a more regular basis.


Current Colony:

 

4x Camponotus (hyatti?)
