Do queens in their founding stage need oxygen?

Hi! I just wanted to know if a queen ant could survive a place without oxygen while undergoing the founding process.Well specifically a lasius niger queen in a test tube setup with the most minimal oxygen for 24 hours(and with a few eggs). Appreciate any help I could get(and sorry for my bad English)
