Gravid means with eggs. Unmated queens can still lay eggs. I can't guess whether that queen you have there is mated, I would have to observe for a few days.

This is a weird word, but would impregnated be a good term instead of mated? XD

Or perhaps inseminated? I always feel like ‘unmated’ is such a casual and non scientific term.

 

Yes I think that would be a good alternative to mated. But, I think fertilized might be a better term for if they eggs are inseminated

 

Edit: fecundate could also work

I think what we're all referring to is "capable of producing workers", right?

yeah, but that's too long. Probably the easiest way to say it tho
