Jesper T: What kind of sugar? (23. Mai 2010 10:53)

Hi´

I have recently bought at starter set and a Myrmica rubra colony. I also bought the honey set with five different kinds of honey.
The problem is that i dont really see them eating the honey. When i feed them dead insects they go completely crazy, but i never see them near the honey.
What is the best kind af honey/sugar for these little critters?

Regards

ants dont really need that much sugar because they only need it rarly and you will only see it when there is a huge colonie.
i would feed them the forest honey that they sell on antstore.
