How are Queen ant die?
Queen ants can die through old age, human interaction or nature disaster.
And Queens are killed by soldiers. Colony has multiple queen (depend on species), but they may not last. Because worker ant have aim to kill all other queen ants besides one for colony size. Unfortunately in that time they can kill all of the queen without left one queen.
The queen can also killed by human when they are clean their home. Evantually die off complete colony.
What happened when Queen die?
Now we come to center of point. When the queen die colony will start to die off. But suddenly will not die off completely. It may take weeks, months, years for a whole colony die off. But it will happen at one point in time. Once the queen died, the colony will do all duties as it did like search of food and building their nest etc till worker ants Alive. This means not perfect colony because new queen ant cannot be replace when queen die off.
Ant colony survival without a queen?
Yes, but not long periods until have lifetime of the workers. When last one die off, the colony will end. The simple reason is that colony have no queen, they can't reproduce and hatch eggs. So no possible for born new babies. Just they will live how many ants left in colony.
