Sugar water seems to work just fine, so for expense reasons, it might be a good idea. Make it with one part sugar to two parts water.AntsAreCool715 wrote: ↑Tue May 09, 2023 6:39 amI give them quite less honey. It's about one centimeter circle plate and it's very shallow. The honey I use is super pure and expensive, it has no sugar in it and my mom doesn't really approve of using the precious honey. Should I switch to sugar water? If so, how much sugar in how much water??antperson24 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 18, 2023 7:24 amThey do this because they are afraid of drowning in the honey, so they put stuff in it. Try feeding them smaller amounts.AntsAreCool715 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 18, 2023 4:40 am
My camponotus ants don't drown themselves into the honey or water, but they would put dead insects in to the honey and I would have to give them more. Is this a sign that they don't want to eat honey?

Why keep ants that aren't found in your yard?
There are so many fascinating ants right where you live!
I disagree with the keeping/buying of ants that aren't in your area.
