No. The drones (male bees) are ejected from the colony at the end of the breeding season by the worker bees (infertile females).
There is a "queen ant", which is a breeding female. There is no "king" ant, male ants are called "drones". The non-breeding (sterile or sub-fertile) female ants are called "workers". Depending on the species, there can be anywhere from one to ten queen ants in a colony. They are raised from larvae specifically for the purpose of breeding.
When a male bee (a drone), is no longer required for breeding purposes - usually after three or four months - it is ejected from the colony by the worker bees and will then die because it cannot look after itself outside the colony.
A group of seagulls is called a colony. This is the traditional collective name, although of course the formerly "incorrect" term, a flock, has entered the language as well because of its popularity.
To get to a breeding colony they travel 50-120 km, and they live for 20 years, in total that's well over 1000km
Some of e livestock was eaten, but most of it was kept as breeding stock in the new colony. It was important to have a steady food source, as new supplies were many months away, so breeding the livestock was of paramount importance. There was one herd of government cattle that escaped - the next generation was found years later, in excellent condition, grazing in the grasslands some distance from the colony.
