Yes, but the whole nestful of workers, males etc is just a mechanism for turning one queen into the beginning of the season into perhaps two or three queens, or perhaps only one queen, at the beginning of the next season. All the rest die off. I'm sure the odd spider's dinner won't make much difference.
