Urban ants

Ants

The author believes we should not pick up any junk food that falls on the pavement because to a team of researchers they think an army of ants will pick it up and they will eat it also. Some ants will soon carry it away and share it to it’s queen ant. A nts love junk food more than nearly humans.  

 

Clint Penick come to the conclusion that some ants love junk food, they love to eat all food that contains corn, sugarcane and also processed meat. Ants prefer junk food more than just eating dead insects as will they can’t found dead insects in that area so the human junk food is something that they can eat.

Junk food is good for them because usually their natural diet are insects but they actually like to eat is human junk food thrown onto the pavement. They do not have to look for food, humans drop food and this is available anytime of the day. Ants clean the place by taking away the food to their hive.

Making Honey

Honey! Honey! Honey! The honey bee has a very special honey making stomach called a crop. This is where the bees store the nectar That they collect and gather from the flowers. Its the sugar in the nectar that the bees turn into the wonderful, juicy and delicious nectar. When the foraging honey bee has collected nectar from a flower and placed it in its crop, a process in the bees stomach turns the sugar in the nectar into honey. The crop makes the sweetness from the nectar that makes scrumptious, tasty and lovely honey.
