After you kill the queen all the ants will die in starvation. Some species of ants will still continue to do work even though the queen died. Sometimes ants will come, but it won't likely happen. Also if the queen dies another ant becomes the new queen.
This reminds me of something that happened to me as a child. i got ants from the top of my garden, then from the bottom of the garden, got the queens from both and put them in a jar together. the 2 ant colonies had a war with each other. It was AWESOME! after a few minutes one of the queens got severly injured (the other queens ants attacked it) and started limping. so then i let the ants go. the bottom of the garden ants returned home and so did the top of the garden ants, then 5 minutes later i saw some ants dragging the (now dead) injured queen back to the colony.

It depends on the species. Some species of ants have multiple queens in a colony, from dozens to thousands, so losing even a few queens has little or no effect. In most species the death of the last queen results in collapse of the colony, as they are the only ones capable of reproducing. Although the workers are all female, they are sterile and incapable of laying eggs.
