Yeah, ants can bite, but unless it is a leaf-cutter/Camponotus major or Polyergus, a bite is barely going to be noticeable.
When i went to coasta rica 3 years ago i accidentally stepped on a leaf cutter trail. A median bit me and when i looked down i had a nice sizable cut on my toe

Re: Collecting ant colonies from the wild?

yes just because the ants can dig their own tunnels. they can choose the right humidity and they have spring tails and other cleaners to help them and their nest stay clean
