I was wondering.....
If you can take out the queen from a wild colony
I know that means doom for the no-queen colony
But just wondering :?:

If you remove the queen from a colony, the colony will die unless there are multiple queens in that colony or if it's a queenless species since you can't remove the queen if there is no queen ant.

And if you're wondering, no, you can't raise a colony from a queen you remove from an already established colony.
