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.
