As I just answered, Borg don't have sexual reproduction.
The Borg Queen seems to have replaceable bodies.
So why does she even have a gender (e.g. Borg Queen vs. Borg Leader)? She does have one - aside from the name; She keeps trying to turn males into her consorts (Locutus/Picard, then Data).
One possible guess is that show creators trying to parallel her to an insect queen. But this seems inconsistent - she should have been genderless.
Answer
There's no in-Universe answer. The Borg Queen was simply there to be a temptress and, yes, to draw parallels to insects as you pointed out.
One speculative thought is this: Whatever Species 0 (original Borg species) was, she was a member and was the driving force behind their creation of the Collective.
The bodies fashioned for her could then be patterned on her original form, and she could be the 'personality' of the Collective.
It's speculation, but it's the only explanation I can think of that fits the facts.
