BBC Film crews have recently filmed some unusual behaviour in queen honey ants. Normally they are solitary workers and seldom work in conjunction with others.Whilst building her nest, the original honey queen was seen to be digging and building together with several other honey queens. Normally the approach of another queen would result in fighting yet in the film, they were working together, co-operated well and all have gone into the nest together to begin to lay their eggs.
Interesting! When looking at a changing world, the behaviour of insects, birds and animals is another facet to watch.
