I am feeding my ants because winter is near, and they must eat enough to last the winter. They need to stuff themselves with sugar and protein. For sugar, I am feeding them honey, or Sunburst Ant Nectar. The Pavement Princess and Scar Smile seem to like honey, while Onetenna prefers Sunburst Ant Nectar. For protein, I feed my ants mealworm pieces, which they all like. Here are some of my ants loading up on food.
