Do ants drink watter?

Answer 1

Associated directly with food is water. These 2 are ESSENTIAL to life

Many ants need water, so if you see a steady column of small black ants climbing a tree trunk and disappearing into a hole in a crotch it is highly probable that you fill find a hidden reservoir of fresh water stored away there.

This can be proved by dipping a long straw or thin stick down the hole into which the ants are going.

If wet, then water is there. To get the water, do not on ANY account chop into the tree. If the hole is very small enlarge it with your knife-point at the top.

Make a mop by tying grass or a rag to a stick. Dip the mop into the water and squeeze into a container.

Another method is to take a long hollow straw and suck the water you need from the reservoir.

These natural tree reservoirs are VERY COMMON in Dry areas, and are often kept full by the dew which condensing on the upper branches of the tree, trickles down into the crotch and so into the reservoir inside the tree.
