Best Answer

If a queen dies, then the worker bees will feed royal jelly to some of the larvae and they will turn into queen bees. The first one out will kill all the others, so there will only be one Queen Bee in the hive.

This is still a dead end until the queen finds a drone, mates and gets down into the business of egg laying.
