just cut teh peas in half, probably works better with fresh peas. I'd guess they are drinking but im not sure, they definitely seem to prefer to drink from the pea if this is the case, maybe they gain some nutrition from the juice inside.

i have a colony of 6 workersof ligni. i gave them forstedpeas and they like them...i think they drinkfrom them becasue i found holes in them and a bit "like withno air "

Well my messor barbarus eat them as i see chunks of it missing from peas that i put in and when i open test tube some workers carrying a bit of pea still so those ants use them to store like they do with seeds:P they might drink them to im not sure about that cant really tell

As a fact i don't think they really eat from them. They probably use the juice to drink from and maybe they will cut it in pieces but really eat from them, i don't think so.

I think they eat them as i find no discarded bits of peas anywhere ;)

Could be, you never know. ;) But i think they just chew it into small pieces and trow it on the garbage pile.

I have the answer now :P My messors eat the stuff inside the pea when i removed the layer of the pea the messors were more interested in the one that had no skin of the pea or whatever it is called so they chop the bits up and then drink them :) They done that to 6 peas at once lol
