Was it dead when you found it? Usually the queens of any social group are never alone. May have gotten replaced by a new queen idk. Cool story but the chosen queens get fed something called 'royal jelly' by the workers, its a special concoction. and also of note is that we have no native honeybees in the US, all of them are of European descent

it was not alone there were others about the same size, and it was not dead till it got hit with some wasp spray but that was the only one i could find to take a picture of, my better half took them out the other day while i was at work, if it isn't the queen then i would hate to see how big the queen is
