Under normal circumstances, a colony would be the place where the ant population lives, the number of queens just has to be equal or greater than 1, as they can have multiple in a single place.

Welp, talk about learning something completely unexpected

That’s crazy! How is a colony defined, is it one queen is managing the whole 6000km territory?
