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.

Why isn't there a king with the queen ant?

For something to exist in nature there generally has to be a need. The queen once she has copulated with a suitable male saves the sperm from the male and needs never mate again as she doles the sperm out as it is required. In other words the male is not required after copulation so he simply is not there anymore,
