is there any way of telling if a honey contains pesticides that harm ants? i'm apprehensive to feed honey-water to my lasius niger but ive heard that honey is very nutritious
any advice?

you need sweet honey and no bitter one like forest honey.
I prefer feeding the honey pure and not mixed with water. They really like it!

thanks for the advice, its a very small colony at the moment and i havent even seen them eating the sugar water yet :?

ive never heard of rowntrees honey before, is it available in most supermarkets or is there a website?
