 Is there any way of coaxing a queen (L.Niger) from a test tube into a nest entrance without stressing her too badly?? |

Safest way is to gently tap her out onto the nest and hope she goes in the entrance hole.

I'd probably hold the open end of the test tube to the nest entrance and do what Black Ant suggested.
