no. It's not a good idea. the ants will destroy her. if you wait till she has workers than they will definetly destroy her. best thing to do is to wait until she has about fifty workers and THEN move her into a formicarium of her OWN. Happy ant keeping!
Proverbs 6:6-8

Go to the ant, you sluggard;
consider its ways and be wise!
It has no commander,
no overseer or ruler,
yet it stores its provisions in summer
and gathers its food at harvest.
