ANTS Colony An ant colony is a population of a single ant species capable to maintain its complete lifecycle. Ant colonies are eusocial, communal, and efficiently organized and are very much like those found in other social Hymenoptera, though the various groups of these developed sociality independently through convergent evolution. #antslife #antsmarching #antiacne | MB Birds Farm

Japanese honeybees slap away ants with their wings Ants invade honeybee nests, seeking to steal honey, prey on eggs or kill worker bees. Footage from a high-speed camera shows that guard bees, positioned near a nest’s entrance, tilt their bodies towards an approaching ant, and then flutter their wings while they pivot away. A successful hit sends the ant flying. 🎥 via National Institute for Environmental Studies, Japan https://www.newscientist.com/article/2439789 #japanesehoneybees #honeybees #
