Eli5: If ants love sugar, and bees make honey, why aren’t bee hives constantly attacked by ants?
In: Other
Bee hives are under constant attack, a healthy hive will have guard bees at the entrance to block invaders. A weak or dying hive will very quickly get robbed by bees from other hives, cockroaches, wax moth, and all kinds of other insects that want to eat the honey, the larva or even the wax.
