Some species, when the queen dies, the other female workers can then become queens. Sexual determination is not genetic among ants, but has environmental signaling.

Depends on the species, but some, when it's time for the hive to move, the queen lays a different egg. In others the workers give a certain egg a different kind of food. Either way (among others) will make a queen.

ok all ants come from queen ants because theyre the only one allowed to have babies. so queen ants only hatch from the eggs when the previous one is deceased.
