Pretty sure they've already got anything they find useful.
It all depends upon which Borg Queen you are referring to? Please elaborate?
I am assuming that you mean:
In which case, in the 25th century, I believe that there is more than one Borg faction out there since the collapse of the original Collective, therefore each faction possibly having lots of newly established ‘leading’ or coordinating figures - with Jurati being only one of such. Perhaps Jurati *did* somehow manage to unify all of the disconnected hives prior to her return in the 25th century, but I do not think so.
Borg space was *vast*, any collapse of the Collective would have *major* implications to this region of space and the aftermath would not really be manageable in my opinion… chaos would have been unleashed from what was once a unified ‘order’, some form of ‘civil war’ may even have resulted amongst all of the ex-B’s? How would they function without *some* form of centralised form of coordination and management, distribution of resources etc? Perhaps Jurati *did* fill this role? But again, I doubt it.
There now may be many smaller Borg ‘hives’, each with their own agendas, social structures and cultures based on the circumstances that they were left in after being separated from the Collective. Each individual Borg ‘hive’ would become a sum of their circumstantial experiences; learnt behaviours formed due to environmental and social variables encountered since becoming individuals freed from the original Collective, perhaps also influenced by the resurfacing cultural differences, ideologies and the conflicts of the species who were once assimilated being forced to now coexist together. Some of these ex-Borg factions may be ‘good’… yet others may still be ‘bad’ or at the very least misguided… some may even be animalistic and feral in nature., having reverted to the most basic of primal instincts. It is possible that some of the ex Borg are peaceful cyborg hippies, yet others may be savage hunters or even warriors that the Klingons would still find to be worthy opponents. There may, however, be some ex-B that are quite literally mindless savage zombies… others may have been made in to the slaves of other species, even being hunted down for their tech and spare parts such as in the tragic case of Icheb.
Some ex-B hives may also be much smaller than others, for example there could be an ex-B society based around a single cube or colony, whilst other more powerful ‘mini collectives’ may consist of entire planets or even solar systems.
The Borg may now have become a bit like the Kazon, collapsed in to many ‘bickering’ factions fighting over resources in a now depleted void of what is now ex Borg Space. Borg space was vast, so without the original Collectives infrastructure in place, such as transwarp networks and hubs, it would be hard to survive seeing as this space is also likely stripped of all natural resources.
Perhaps, in the new spin-off, the Borg are looking for a new Queen to help unify them in to a Collaborative/Co-operative. The Borg are currently in chaos, perhaps they can reunify under a flag of a ‘collective of the willing’.
Alternatively, without the coordination of a Queen, the remaining Borg are behaving like a massive tide of uncontrollable zombies… a horde of technologically enhanced ‘living dead’ acting as a force of nature rather than an army led by a coordinating facet of it’s Collective unconsciousness?
I still believe that the Borg were only decimated by Janeway’s Neurolytic virus though, not wiped out. I believe that any destruction of the Borg was a result of a further biological attack… but Terry Matalas said otherwise, and he is the boss.

Jurati Borg Queen, not Alice Krige?
