Does this mean that there's just one queen for this entire colony?

Nope. The weird thing about the megacolony is that different anthills don't recognize each other as "belonging to a different queen", so they don't attack each other. They still have their own queens, though. Effectively they all act like one big family, instead of rival clans.

Good question. I would think not, though. Hopefully an expert can answer.
