Why did the queen die

[AntsAntsAnts]

My camponotus queen ant died mysteriously. She left the nest and into the outworld and then she started dying. She eventually died... I think. but the next day her body MOVED back into another nesting space. But she still doesn't move.

Did anything change with the nest recently? Her workers probably dragged her body back into the nest.

Did you catch her from a nuptial flight or from an established nest? How old was she? Did you feed something different to them?

I always fed the colony the same thing. I have no idea how old she was but she had 5 workers. Two died of age.
