How does the queen ant pick the next queen?

Question

How does the queen ant pick the next queen?

Answer 1

I don't think she has any say so in the matter. A queen ant like I bee is formed by what she is fed. Somehow the worker ants know if another queen is needed and they will feed the larva what it needs to grow into a queen. If the queen is not needed she will go on a mating flight mate and start her own colony.

Answer 2

the colony cant live without the queen,so they all just die.

i know its sad,but very simple.

i learned that in kindergarten lol

so what im saying is that the colony's life is in the queens hands.

the queen ant is queen until she dies.

and when she dies,all he other colony dies,too,because they cant live without the queen.

Answer 3

She picks the one with the largest feelers, then gets the worker bees to feed the chosen one with royal jelly.

Answer 4

She asks the Queen Uncle

Answer 5

In  European  royalty,  the  Queen  is  either  the  oldest  child  of  the  monarch  (king  or  Queen)and  their  spouse (prince  or  queen  consort)  The  difference  between   a  Queen  and  a  Queen consort  is  that  in  the  case  of  Queen  Elizabeth,  she was  the oldest  daughter  of  the Late  King  George  VI  and  Queen  (consort)  Elizabeth, Queens  Paola{Belgium},Sofia (Spain),  Sonja(Norway)  and  Silvia (Sweden)  are  queen  consorts, they  married  the kings  of  those  countries.  

There  is  only  one crown  princess ,  Victoria   who  is  heir  to  the  Swedish  throne.  The  heirs  to  the  Spanish,  Dutch,  Belgian,  Norweigan  and  Danish  thrones  are  all  the  sons  of  the  current  Kings  or  in  the  Danish  and  Dutch  cases  Queens.  

Their  wives  will  be  queen  consorts  when  Prince  Felipe (Spain,  wife  Latizia),  Hakkon(Norway ,  wife  Mette- Marit),  Frederik{Denmark,  wife  Mary),  Willlem-Alexander (The  Netherlands,  wife Maxima),  and  Phillippe {Belgium  wife  Mathilde)  will  all  become  queen  consorts  when their  husbands  ascend  the throne.  

In   the  Duchess  of  Cornwall's  case, technically  she  will  be  Queen  Camila,  but  will  be  known  as  her  present  title.  That  was  decided before she and  Charles  married  in  '05.

The  only  countries  in  Europe  that  don't  have  queens  but  do  have  royal  families  are  Monaco  where  Prince  Albert  is  the   head  of state,  Luxembourg and  Liechtenstein  both have  Grand  Dukes  and  their  wives  are  known  as  Grand Duchesses.  

In  Luxembourg's  case  there  are  two  Grand  Dukes,  Grand  Duke  Jean  abdicated   in    '00  in  favor of  his  son  Henri. In  some  countries  like  Japan and  Jordan,  only  males  can  ascend  the  throne. For now,  in Spain,  Crown  Prince  Felipe's   two  daughters,  Leonor  and Sofia(named  after  her  grandmother)  are  2nd  and  third in  line  for the  throne.  If their  parents  should  have  a  son  before the  constitution  is  changed  to  allow  the  oldest child  of the  Crown  prince to ascend  the throne,  regardless of  birth  order,  he'll  be  after his  father.  

Princesses  Elena  and  Cristina are  Prince  Felipe's  older  sisters  and  his  birth  trunkcated  over theirs  which  is  why  

he's  heir.  Princess  Elena  is the oldest of  the King  and queen's  children. Outside of Europe,  ascension  to thrones  of  Japan,  Jordan,  Saudi  Arabia  and  other  Asian  and Middle eastern  nations  favor  males.  In  Japan  for example,   since the  Crown  prince  has  two  daughters,  his  nephew  is next in  line   after  him  and before  his brother,  the  baby's father.

I  hope  this  helps.
