Some queens do that for some reason. It is perfectly normal. And you can watch this behavior with the Pharaoh ants that invaded AntsCanada's room. The queens would follow the trails with the workers, eat, and head back to the nest.
"God made every kind of wild beasts and every kind of livestock and every kind of creeping things;" (including ants) "and God saw that it was good." Genesis 1:25
