I feel you! I want Camponotus Pennsylvanicus really bad and u can't find a single queen, even though I see workers everywhere.
I wanna get my hands on some Campontus Pennsylvanicus or Ponera Pennsylvanica Queens!:D

They may simply not be native in your area.

I cannot seem to find Prenelopis queens either, even though their colonies are abundant around my apartment.

I find them all the time. Just no queens. I know they exist here.

On one of the first days of the year that reaches temps of 70 F or higher they fly.

We have them all over in the hills around here, but I can't seem to ever find any queens either.

I saw a P. imparis alate wandering around today. Only managed to catch the one (in Toronto, Ontario). If they've finally flow up here, elsewhere may be too late to find them.
