How are Ant/Bee Queen's born?

How are they born/chosen to be queens?

I heard that pnce the colony has established itself, the queen ant will continuously lay eggs. At the time of egg-laying, the queen may choose to fertilize eggs at will by using the sperm cells retained from the nuptial flight, which will create female worker ants instead of males. If the fertilized eggs and pupae are well-nurtured, they could potentially become queens as well.

**TL;DR** A ant queen can choose one ant to fertilize for it to become an ant, but still, if one is not born, how the chosen queens turn from tiny insects to giant "Patriarchs" that have their life span increased up to 30+ years?

In a bee colony a new queen is chosen when the current queen bee becomes sick or theres an over population issue in the hive. The queen gives off a pheromone to inform bees that everything is operating correctly. Is theres a problem such as one listed above the bees will sense this and begin "making" a new queen bee.When bees are born they are all fed royal jelly for the first few days of their lives. after that they start to eat honey. This allows them to build up enough strength to cocoon themselves and to turn from a larva into a full bee. Babies chosen to be a queen will be fed royal jelly to the point where they cocoon themselves, when they emerge they are a queen bee. In an over population problem, the old queen will leave with about half the working population to build a new hive leaving the current hive to be run by the new queen.
