Eli5: If ants love sugar, and bees make honey, why aren’t bee hives constantly attacked by ants?
In: Other
As someone with Beehives I can tell you they very much do. If you have a strong hive they manage to keep the ants out. If they’re weaker, or for example, you give them too much space when there are too few bees, then ants can and will steal the honey.
And God forbid you drop a little bit of it in your kitchen…
