Can 4 minor pieces win a queen?

Can the four minor pieces win against a queen? Well, in this instance, it's a mate in 3 (2 if the queen doesn't block).
In general, 4 minors should win against a queen - barring passed pawns.
I suspect it depends on the minor pieces! I suspect that both 4N vs Q and 4B vs Q (bishops all on the same color) are drawn.
