Worker ants provide food, dig tunnels, and care for pupa. These ants work so that the queen ant is able to continue producing more eggs and therefore, more ants.

How do ants organize the work in their colonies?
Entymologists have discovered that ants (and other insects) exude pheromones (smell hormones, simply put), which are perceived as instructions by other ants, depending upon the characteristics of the pheromone exuded.
Do ants come out at night?
Flying ants come out when the new queen ant and the male reproducing ants leave the colony to form new colonies. The new queen removes her wings when she begins to reproduce. The males die shortly after because the queen removes their wings. They are no longer of any use after mating because they do not work.
Are worker bees boys?
All worker bees are female. The males are called drones, who do no work in the hive. They only live for one thing: to mate with a new queen.
Why does a queen ant have wings and the drones and workers dont?
The queen honey bee usually leaves its nest only twice in its life. The first occasion is when she is about five days old and leaves the colony on a mating flight. The only other time that she might leave the colony is if they decide to swarm and she will fly with about half of the bees in the colony and go and look for a new home. She needs wings to do both of these things.
What happens if a queen ant dies?
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.

Do worker bees also have babies?
No, that is the queen's job. Worker bees work. That is it. No.Incidentally, 'have babies' implies giving birth to live young. This does not happen with any bee -- the queen lays eggs.
Do ants marry their brothers or sisters?
No, ants do not marry anyone. In an ant's nest, one ant is the Queen and lays all the eggs for new ants whilst the others work, building the nest and feeding the pupae which in turn grown up to become ants.
