It could be a worker, just wait and watch for any other bits coming out.

Well you dont know for certain its the queens. I would only be worried if you see a abdomen or a head. And I wouldnt recommend digging them up to check if shes ok, as if shes fine you might damage her and/or the brood. Good luck with the colony by the way. Edit:- I didnt see portea's post until I posted this.

The workers? Well, if my colony died I would treat them like they were still a colony, let there last days doing what they do. They will die soon, but its up to you.
