Honeydew substitute -> natural nectar for ants

Honeydew Surrogate (2 ml) – Rich in essential sugars, minerals & amino acids

In nature, ants love honeydew: the nutritious nectar secreted by aphids. To provide your ants in the formicarium with exactly the same valuable nutrients, we at Antfarm have developed our own **honeydew surrogate**. This mixture is richer in nutrients than standard sugar water and contains a balanced combination of sugars, minerals, and amino acids. Extensively tested by us and suitable for all ant species!

Safe dosing with the included cotton pad

Feeding loose liquids to ants quickly carries the risk of drowning. To prevent this, you will receive a **separate dosing cotton pad** with the honeydew tube. Simply apply a drop of honeydew to a small piece of the cotton pad and place it on a feeding dish in the arena. The ants can safely and controllably suck up the nectar without getting stuck.

Developed and used by Antfarm

We use this exact recipe daily for the care of our own ant colonies. It forms the perfect complement to a diet of sugar water and fresh feeder insects (and seeds for species like Messor and Pheidole).

Storage advice for optimal freshness: To maintain the high quality and nutritional value of the amino acids, the honeydew tube should be stored in the freezer. Offer a fresh drop weekly on the cotton pad and immediately return the sealed tube to the freezer. This way, it will last for several months!
