The text explains how most ants live in groups called colonies, where members perform specialized tasks and show strong division of labour. It highlights the queen as the heart of the colony that lays thousands of eggs daily, the male ants that fertilize her, and the worker ants responsible for finding food, gathering materials for fungi, cleaning, and carrying dead ants away to protect hygiene and reduce disease risk.","Amazing ants  \nPaulus Banye, Wirnkar  \nEnglish Animal Stories  \nAmazing ants  \nMy acknowledgements to Bloom and Art of Reading program developpers for letting me use their applications and illustrations Thanks to Nascent Solutions for granting me free training on using the Bloom App for Short story book production.  \nEnglish  \nUnited States  \nCopyright © 2020, Paulus Banye, Wirnkar  \n[http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)  \nYou are free to make commercial use of this work.

But, you surely have never taken the time to know them well. Sometimes, you even crush them without noticing.  \nDid you ever realize that most ants live in groups? Such a group of ants is called a colony. Every colony has members.  \nEach member of the colony does a specific work. There is, therefore, high division of labour within the colony. This makes the colony to grow and prosper.  \nThe biggest member of an ant colony is called the queen. She is a female ant. She stays in the ant hill.  \nHer work is to lay eggs from which other ants develop. She can lay about thirty thousand eggs in a day.  \nThe queen is the heart of the colony. Without her, it will be difficult to maintain the ant population in a colony.  \nTo enable the queen lay eggs, male ants fertilize her.  \nThe role of these male ants is to produce sperm and fertilize the queen . They ensure that the queen continues to lay good eggs.  \nIn some ant colonies, all the males die after fertilizing the queen leaving the colony with only female ants.  \nThere are worker ants that perform different duties .  \nSome worker ants have the duty of looking for food for the colony. They also look for proper substrates that will be used to grow fungi. This implies that they must go out of the colony to search for food elsewhere.  \nSome worker ants are cleaners. They gather all dirt in the colony and transport it to the garbage heap. If another ant dies, they carry its body to the'cemetry' away from the rest of the ants.  \nBy keeping hygiene, these rescue ants reduce the risk of disease spreading in the colony. They also make sure that the young ants can grow in a clean environment.","cbCaivECCoCQLRcp","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivECCoCQLRcp","pdf",748177,20,"English","en",105,"# Amazing ants\n## Colonies and division of labour\n## The queen and reproduction\n## Worker roles: food, fungi, cleaning, and hygiene","[{\"question\":\"What is a colony in ant life?\",\"answer\":\"A colony is a group of ants living together.
