What is Understanding Queen Ants and Their Lifespan about?

A queen ant, formally known as a gyne, is an adult reproducing ant that is the mother of the entire colony. Some queen ants can reproduce asexually through parthenogenesis and cloning to produce only female offspring, while others mate during nuptial flights. Queen offspring develop from specially fed larvae to become sexually mature, and colonies can contain either a single queen or hundreds of queens depending on the species. Queen ants have exceptionally long lifespans for insects, living up to 30 years.
