Adamandtheants: Ant food mix set (6. Dez 2015 14:49)

Please could anybody be so kind as to tell me what the letters mean on the top of each tube of the ant store food mix set
They are as follows

K
Zh
P1
Pp
F

I think zh is honey and that's all I can work out possibly p1 or pp is protein? Any help on working this out would be of much help
Also I thought I would put a pic up of my set up no ants in yet as there in the basement cool for the winter any comments would be appreciated :)

(PP) Proteinfutter / Protein
(PI) Proteinfutter FD Insekten / Protein Insects
(K) Kohlenhydratfutter / Carbohydrate (Right english word? XD )
(F) Fruchtfutter / Fruits
(ZH) Zuckerhoniglösung / Suggar Honey

Thank you very much this was extremely helpful and yes carbohydrates is the correct English word.
Is it possible to mix them together such as the two proteins and carbohydrates or should they be offered separately?

Also am I correct in thinking lasius Niger prefere wet food to dry food so should I mix it with water ?

The ants will take it, if they like it :)
