@antshq: Feeding sugar is one of the simplest parts of ant keeping, but it’s also one of the most important. For the workers, it’s their main source of energy, the fuel that keeps the colony running. Every trip through the nest, every brood check, every bit of excavation, cleaning, foraging, and defence is powered by the sugars they share between one another. It’s easy to overlook just how much work is happening at any given moment until you watch a fresh drop of nectar disappear. Within minutes, workers are gathering around it, filling up and returning to the nest to distribute it throughout the colony. It’s a reminder that even the smallest tasks depend on a steady source of energy 🐜 Nectar: Anotherswarm Nectar (Flavus) #ants #antkeeping #antfarm #petants #myrmica
