Maybe take the hint and keep an ant farm.....

A little while ago during some unseasonal fine weather I decided to give all my (at that time) unused poly nucs a good scrubbing and sterilising, after they had been left to dry for a while on the lawn, I got a bit busy so stacked them om the path, against the greenhouse.
I'd forgotten there was an ant's nest there, and the other day, whilst tidying the nucs away........................

Your very own formicarium!

unfortunately all vacated when the flying ants took wing last week (I wondered why that corner was so busy) and obliterated in the storms last night when the unsecured stack was blown over.

an ant's nest

They'll do the same in boxes full of bees, often in the roofs of poly nucs. On one occasion a single BB had the bees in one half and an ant nest in the other.
