Why the Strata 4-Chamber Nest Works for Honeypot Ants:
Four Spacious Chambers: Provides ample space for replete storage (the ants’ unique nectar-storing behavior) and colony growth.
Huge Activity Outworld: The nest comes with an extra-large outworld area, perfect for your ants to forage, explore, and exhibit their natural behaviors without feeling cramped. It’s ideal for observing group foraging and larva transport!
Built-in Water Reservoir for Air Moisturization: No more messy manual spraying! The nest’s integrated water storage system maintains a steady, optimal humidity level inside the chambers—critical for the health of pupae and the overall colony, especially for arid-adapted species like Mexican honey ants.
Easy Observation: Clear acrylic construction lets me watch every detail—from workers carrying food to repletes expanding with nectar—without disturbing the colony.
🐜 Care Tips for Mexican Honey Ants:
Keep temperatures between 80-90°F (27-32°C) with a heating mat (leave a cool zone for the colony to regulate!)
Feed daily sugars (honey water works great) and protein (pre-boiled mealworms or crickets) every 2-3 days to boost growth
Ensure constant access to distilled water—these desert-adapted ants need hydration to thrive
