They Communicate with Scent Trails (Pheromones):
When a foraging ant finds palm sugar, it lays down a chemical trail (called a pheromone trail) as it returns to the colony.
Other ants detect this trail and follow it straight to the food.
The more ants follow it, the stronger the trail gets — leading to a snowball effect.
Teamwork is Built Into Their Nature:
Ants are social insects. They don’t just find food for themselves — they gather it for the entire colony.
Working in groups lets them:
Carry bigger pieces
Protect the food source
Gather it faster before competitors arrive
Palm Sugar is Worth It:
It’s sweet, energy-rich, and fragrant — an ideal food for ants.
A large, sticky block is more than one ant can handle, so many ants work together to gather it efficiently.
