Yup, they sell them here. When you buy them they also come with an order-form to buy some ants that come with a queen ant.

sods law - we call it Murphy's Law ~ anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.
I like the ant farm. I'd like to get one, but I already have a GD spider colony in my apt. *shudder*

I just looked around a bit and I am not sure if you can buy a queen ant anymore. Right now it looks like they only ship normal ants which will live for a few weeks before dieing off.
When I was a kid I would make my own ant farms by putting some dirt and ants in a mason jar. I would replace the metal disk/lid with a cloth and then screw the ring on so they could still breath but not get away.
If you want to catch the little black ants, just put something sweet outside on a piece of paper. In a day or two go back and you should find it covered with ants... just pick up the paper, bend it a bit and then tap the ants into your container.
