Right, so the queen lays the eggs, and there her care stops. Is she the mother since she made the eggs, or would the drones that care for them be the mothers?

The drones are the male ants. They just go away to find a new queen and die, while the new queen makes a new colony.

The new born ants are feed and cared by their sisters.
