Yes - they are basically an egg-laying machine. Their sole purpose is to increase the size of the colony, by laying eggs that will develop into new adult ants. These will replace ants that have been killed by disease or other animals.
No,the queen ant doesn't die when she has the eggs, because is the only one that can have the babies in the colony. When she has the eggs she continue having eggs for the colony.
honey ants do lay eggs
Don't think so ... mainly because most of the anteaters delicacies are found on the ground :-) !
no
Yes they do the queen is called the mother of all ants because she lays all the eggs
ants do not need kings they have several ants to mate with the "queen" called "drones"
about one quadrillion ants are born almost everyday! Zero. Ants aren't born. They are hatched.
the single queen starts off the colony, so it starts with one ant. over days, the queen finds a safe home to lay eggs. She can lay 100s of eggs a day! Colonies can have from 50 ants to 10 000 ants.
I am not sure about the amount of eggs.... most likely 4-5 eggs, but yes some birds lay eggs in nests of other birds when they have hatched their eggs and are done raising their chicks. HOW MANY EGGS DOES A QUEEN ANT HAVE?: Depending on the ants spiceies the amount will vary (change) many types of queen ants have between (75-100) eggs a day! it might seem unbielievable but it is true..... the reason you dont see that many ants is because many of the eggs will not survive for various reasons...... and because the nurse ,worker ,and feeding ants sadly do not live too long...... although queen ants have been recorded to live as long as 65 years!!!!!!! if you have any more questions about ants please ask....

Ants are created through a process called metamorphosis. They begin as eggs laid by the queen ant, hatch into larvae, undergo pupation, and eventually emerge as adult worker ants. Ant colonies are highly organized social structures where each member has specific roles and responsibilities.
A queen ant can lay up to about 300,000 eggs in just a few days.
