All Lasius species, at least the common ones, are monogyn. You can get Lasius niger queen everywhere, and they are for free Their mating season just begins. Two Lasius niger queens can build the nest and raise the first brood together, this is called pleometrosis and is actually very common in nature. But when the colony grows a little, the queens will fight, so only one remains. Merging two existing colonies is impossible, they will fight for sure.
