Queen ant gone?

Hi!
Some time ago I had a healthy Lasius Niger colony 5-6 workers strong. About 1-2 months old.
Anyways the day after I had fed them I was going to clean up in their test tube. But when I looked inside the queen was gone. Its like she had vanished. No workers or brood was gone only the queen. There were no holes or anything in the test tube and the cotton was tight. So my question is: Why did my queen leave or vanish and if she escaped then why did not the workers stop her or let the workers Escape instead?
