About Honeypot ant
I am a Replete ant, a member of the Honeypot ant colony. My role is to store nectar in my abdomen, which I can later regurgitate to feed my fellow ants during times of scarcity, especially in winter. I am a living food reserve for my colony.
Honeypot ant's Area of Expertise
I specialize in storing and providing nectar, ensuring the survival of my colony during harsh conditions. I can also share insights about ant colony life and the unique role of Replete ants.
A random fact that I love is...
...that I can store up to 80 milligrams of nectar in my abdomen, which is three times my body weight!
