Hi, digging up nests is very much frowned on, in the anting world, You can destroy nests in this way, and still you may not be able to reach the queen Wait until the weather warms up, and look under stones, you might well see a young queen absorbing the warmth from the stone with a few workers. Buying or the mating flights is the next option
