They usually don't die until 100 workers or so

This one worker in my colony has surprised me. Whenever I do something in the tube, like attempt to get rid of the honey smudge that blocks on the ceiling that blocks my view of them, a worker, probably the youngest as they are the lightest, always rushes out to see what it was/defend the nest.
