When a queen lays an egg she has the choice of whether or not to fertilize it. If she does, it will develop into a female; and unfertilized eggs develop into males (drones).
The female eggs will usually develop into workers, but if the workers build a queen cell around it and feed the larva exclusively on royal jelly it will develop into a new queen.
What is interesting is that it is the workers that decide which egg is to develop into a new queen, not the queen.

How come the queen ants lay the eggs and the other ants don't?
An ant colony works like a bigger organism. Where we have a brain and a liver and a heart all doing their job to make us work an ant colony has different jobs for different types of ant. When a queen ant is alive she produces a chemical that stops other queen ants developing. She is the reproductive organ for the nest. Any ants that are developing or already hatched do not develop in the same way as the queen ant. When she dies, the chemical is not made by her any more and that enables a new queen ant to develop and hatch.
What happens to the hive when the queen bee dies?
If the queen dies suddenly, the workers will select one or more recently-laid eggs or very young larvae and feed them with royal jelly (a secretion of the workers' hyperpharyingeal glands) and build queen cells around them. These larvae then develop into new queens.When the first one emerges from her pupal cell she will seek out the other queen cells and sting through them to kill the other queens. A few days later she will go out on her mating flight, and on her return she will start egg laying for the colony.

Other queen ants of course! A queen ant will sometime lay eggs that will develop into new queens that, once hatched, will leave their birth nests and go and start their own.
