minus-squarebrsrklf@jlai.lulinkfedilinkarrow-up5·1 day agoBee hotels are for solitary bees/wasps/… though. As far as I know all ant species are social, and they have no problem digging out huge nests just about anywhere. Not sure what kind of dedicated facility you could make that would make it easier for them, or if it would be useful.

Whether food is meaningfully helpful for ants, no idea. Did not overthink it too much in the few seconds until I realized it was poison. 🫠
