the reason is without a producer/mother for the ants well they will live for a while but they will be dead because they won't have a leader and they will go crazy because:no leader,no mother and well ants go bye-bye

I hope I answered your question good

The most environmentally safe way to kill fire ants is to feed them fire ant bait. What this does is cause the queen to stop reproducing, as fire ants bring the bait to the queen to eat. The queen will stop reproducing, and the current ants will eventually die due to age. The traditional way is using pesticides. Brands such as Amdro are popular choices. These should be applied to the ant colony, or wherever the ants are most concentrated. This tactic's intent is to kill all the ants at once. If the queen survives, she will be able to continue creating new ants.

Why queen bee kill the worker bee?
A new queen can actually be raised from any female egg. Whether an egg develops into a worker or a queen depends on how the larva is fed. From hatching, all larvae are fed on a highly nutritious substance, called bee milk or royal jelly, produced from special glands in worker bees for two or three days. Workers (and drones -- the males) are then weaned off on to a mixture of honey and pollen. But if the larva is destined to become a queen it will continue to be fed on royal jelly until it pupates. The richness of the diet trips developmental 'triggers' and the larva develops into a queen rather than a worker. One other difference: the workers will build a special 'queen cell' around the developing queen larva. This is much larger than the normal worker cell and stands proud of the comb. Should a queen die suddenly. the workers will simply 'promote' a selected worker egg and develop it into a new queen.
