Beer Ants

image
At Antimal House you can purchase modern-day ant farms like the ones kids used to buy out of the back of 10-cent comics.

One of them is shaped like a beer mug, filled with amber gel.

It comes with a removable lid. What are the chances that the lid will get removed, and that someone will swig this at a drunken party?

Alright! That's enough! First off, ant farms come with feeding instructions (I think it usually a sugarwater solution). Second off, they don't need a queen since the majority of ants never come in contact with her anyway. Lastly, we are out numbered at least a million to one by ants. They RULE the planet, along with all other insects. A few dying is not going to hurt anything. Just my opinion, and I am sure this will spark some more comments.

My bad, it's not a sugarwater solution. The gel is what they use for both food and water. Another point to make is that the ants that you can order through the mail are probably bred for the purpose of antfarming.

Can you just inhabit your stein with common, local ants, or need they be specially-bred, farming ants?

I think any ant would do.
