That is my thought on it.. Not worth much for starts if it is only providing field bees and stores.

She is fed by other bees. She does not go looking for food, it is brought to her. Once her attendant bees reach about 22 days old they become field bees and will leave the hive... She will then starve for lack of attendants.
It would be a very rare occasion that a queen comes out of a trapped colony.
