What is a normal amount of ant deaths for a mid-size colony?

Around five workers have died recently in my M. minimum colony, and while I'm not concerned about that amount (the colony is a mid-size one with multiple queens and a lot of brood), I was wondering if there is a general rate of worker ant deaths that's to be expected, so I can tell if anything changes that I should worry about.
