I have seen a worker "piping". It was while catching queens. The worker did what I would describe as "push ups" and made the piping sound which was similar to what you hear when you have queen bees caged. I assume in those cases the queen is piping and not the worker. I could not see as the queens were in queen cages with escorts.
