Ahh...Ant Honey!  I have never actually tried it, but I did have a very large 
ant farm in which the ants were producing it.  I offered them some aphids one 
day, which they quickly began to "domesticate", rubbing the aphids backs with 
their antennae in order to produce honeydew!  Fairly soon, there was a nice 
little coating of ant honey in one of their storage chambers.  They also grew 
alfalfa sprouts and bits of mushroom, and tended their little garden quite 
expertly.  Until I let the fly in, of course, and he destroyed it.
