Ok, I actually caught an ant queen now

[Kyo1995]

Also, I think I should add I live in Brazil, so ants here don't hibernate, which means there shouldn't be a long period before she lays eggs, right?

[Gregory2455]

I think she may be infertile.

[Kyo1995]

Infertile as non-mated? Or infertile as "incapable of laying eggs"?

I ask that because, if what I've read is right, a non-mated queen should lay eggs anyways, but drones will be born. Is that correct?

[Gregory2455]

Infertile as not mated.
