Aphid squirt. They're making the aphids squirt in their mouths, eating it, and throwing it up in each other's mouths. It's like if a whole society thought two girls one cup was just what you do.
Two ants one aphid
I had this going on in my backyard one summer. Nearly killed my pepper plants but one application on pyrethrin luckily stopped it.
Dish soap diluted in water also works and is pollinator friendly.
Just a little bit of soap, a few drops in an old cleaner spray bottle filled with water should do it. Too much and you risk sun-burning the plants.
Yeah, when I first started growing peppers I did this and nearly killed a bunch of plants because I used too much.
It only takes a tiny bit and works wonders.
God I wish that was me...
exhibitionist whore
I prefer free range pre masticated pollen substance
i mean you do you but personally i think honey is nicer
(honey is regurgitated nectar, not pollen. Pollen is rich in protein which would make for a very strange honey)
Pollen juice is nectar...
pollen juice? Not sure what you're on about, nectar is a liquid produced separately from pollen, specifically to attract pollinators.
Pollen is plant sperm, nectar is more equivalent to sweat/milk.
First the bees now this
Literally ants domesticating lower life forms to get sustenance from them, which is wild to me.
Kinky aunts
Ain’t no party like an ant party
