Well Alexander i'm not sure about that, i think it is impossible, but you never know so we will have to wait and look.

I'm totally confused, if the brood is from the dead queen shouldn't it be fertilised? Also what have the two winged queens been up to all this time? do they still have wings? If the brood does turn out to be workers, then wouldn't this be a bad thing as you would have 2 unfertilised queens and a doomed colony?

[JimmyVe]

Well i try to explain, the original queen died and left a bit of brood, this brood hatched until there was no brood left, also from that brood came the 2 winged queens.
These 2 queens lay new eggs so i had new brood again. And now i hope that this new brood will hatch into workers, probably not because the queens are not fertilized.
If the brood hatch into workers, yes this colony is doomed, so Fingers crossed.

There is some progress, check it out.

Well like most people suspect, almost all of the brood is hatch into males. There are about 20 males now in this colony. Meaning that this colony will die... i regret this because these where very nice ants.
