  • I can't believe we made another novel discovery in our newly bought ant forest! In this episode, we fortify our new forest/ant paradise for the native ants in my area, applying permaculture principles to build a food forest. While doing so we finally hear back from my myrmecologist & ant taxonomist friend Dr. General regarding a mystery ant we collected last week. Turns out it was a new and rare find! Hope you enjoy this week's episode! Ant love forever! This video was shot in 4K Ultra HD resolution.

    Greetings, AC Family! Thanks so much for watching! I'm so excited to show you all that has happened, all I've discovered, and all I've done. If you enjoyed this episode, hope you could remember to LIKE, SHARE, and SUBCRIBE (hit the BELL and hit 'All' for Notifications Squad) and let me know what you think we should NAME the new ants we discovered in our new ant forest, as well as the wild population of BCAs! Ant love forever!

    And wow did I miss out. When I started watching you keeping your indoors antfarms ears ago I learned, that I'am even more interested in ants than I tought and was happy about your courious and scientific way of handeling things.
    But now you've grown so much with the new patches of land and really doing some scientific work!
    That is such a great develpment for you channel! As a scientist myself (altough from a different field) that makes me so happy.

    can attest to weaver ants’ addiction to mango trees! we have a huge mango tree behind our house with a just as huge weaver ant colony, so you can spot tons of them nearby. my parents think they’re a hassle, but i personally like them since they’re my favorite species.
    there even used to be a colony in the palm tree near my room! i could spot the orange critters from my window. i can’t see them or their nest anymore, though. they probably got washed away by the typhoon months ago :(

    This is one of my fav YT channels. But ants are dwarfed by the magic that springs from motherearth herself. TY so much for what youre doing. Nomatter what the motivation and priorities are, the total impact is all the sudden what matters most to me. Plz include a few updates from the safehaven each vid - if possible. If not, then ill still tug in and watch the ant colonies, and ill do it with a smile.

    My mom was also super cool and let me have about a third of the backyard to just let grow wild, which we called the habitat. This was inspired by some TV show on Animal Planet about turning backyards into havens for local wildlife, which I saw as a young child, so our own habitat was a big feature of my childhood. We even transplanted a few maple saplings we found all in a pot behind the shed, and we had other types of saplings around the rest of the backyard and over on the strip of yard on the right side of the house. There was also a male holly tree growing right out of the paved part of the backyard, right on the edge of the porch, and we planted a female holly bush over in the patch of grass by the stairs down from the porch, where there was also an oak sapling. Most of the trees started off small, the oak probably even sprouted right where it was, and over time they grew up to be taller than a person. My mom did end up taking a bit of the habitat to have her own garden, but the plants I really liked that grew in that spot she left to grow when they came up. And we also got some cool wildlife, a couple times we even saw mantises. We had to move a few years back, and part of the reason I was really reluctant to part with the house was because I didn't know if the new owners would keep all the trees, which I cherished dearly. It's actually still a sore spot for me, and I haven't dared to check up on the place since.
