Nice looking queen. ;)
Let's hope is the egg of a worker. You will find out more over time. Just keep her in the dark and check once a week if possible. Everything should be fine from here on out. ;)

Don't worry, sometimes it just happens that a young queen dies. It's not always possible to determine the issue but it can happen.

Prepare for Trouble. And make it millions. xD
Hopefully it's a local species and not an invasive one. Also let us know once you have new info on your colony.
