An ant happens to be produced by the queen ant, and the queen ant flies to mate with a male and lays eggs.
A queen ant starts a colony of the same type of ant it is. So if the queen is a black ant queen then she will produce black ants, if she is a fire ant queen then she will produce fire ants, etc. (strange question bro)
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.
for every anthill there is one queen ant
Without a queen ant there is no ant farm. The ant farm will die out in a few weeks without one.
Altough the Queen ant is big and the hole is small it can still usually fit
A queen ant is an adult, mated female ant in an ant colony; generally the mother of all the other ants in that colony.
yes, because the queen ant does give birth to other female ants which could someday become queens
Yes, ants do have a leader. The queen ant is the leader of all the ants. However, there are ants of a higher rank that tell the lower rank ants what the queen wants. It is sort of like being in the army.
An ant nest or a colony have a queen because the queen is the only ant in the whole colony that is able to lay eggs.
Yes , you can have an Ant Farm without the Queen (It is illegal to ship Queen ants between state lines.) but your colony will eventually die out without the ants being replaced by the Queen ant . You could....but you should probably get oe, because the ants need a leader, to know what to do.
