What Happens to Worker Ants if the Queen is Not Present?

Without a queen, an ant colony will quickly die out. The female worker ants cannot reproduce and the entire colony relies on the queen to continue laying eggs and adding to the population. If the queen ant is not there, it puts the entire colony in jeopardy.
