  1. \n

    30 cm X 30 cm Glass<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    How to Make an Ant Farm<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    Building<\/span><\/p>\n

    Make a ring of putty about 25 cm Dia squashed between glass plates. joint drinking straw between ring of putty and cardboard (saucer full of honey in cardboard ) string between water jar and putty ring joint also assemble colony as above, Then find an ant nest, place some of the and riddled soil inside putty ring and seal ants in with top glass plate. when not watching ants store colony in dark place<\/span><\/h3>\n

    Note<\/h3>\n

    Ants work better in darkness, however, if you place red cellophane over the jar, you'll get to see them & they'll still be able to work in darkness.Do not mix different ants from different nests.<\/p>\n

    Do not hold red (also fire) ants!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
