A queen is dependent on workers for water she can feed herself if
necessary virgins are a good example they will feed on honey with no
bees even present and live for 2 or more days if given water if no
access to water her mortally is hours.
>>>> A queen cannot feed herself even when there is food available. She is entirely dependent on workers to do that.
