Many hands make light work
– Richard Bishop
From the depths of the earth they march towards the light. The scouts guide them through the dimly lit jungle past the traps of predators and up the tree a treasure trove of food for the winter. The tiny Pharaoh ants march single file until they reach the work site. Once there they divide up the tasks. Some will gather grains of pollen while others will collect the sweet nectar at the base of the flowers. They’ll have the flower stripped in no time because of their numbers. Nothing deters their work. They hold no debates about who does which job. They simply handle the task in front of them. Each little ant is capable of carrying many times it’s own weight in food but the grains of pollen are small and ants don’t have the structures on their legs like the bees have for packing their food securely for the return trip. And without the bee’s power of flight they will march back with their payload in their jaws. The daunting task for the individual ant but colony moves as one and within a few hours the harvest is complete.

This one was smashed by a huge yellow poplar in a storm and it just went nuts with runners and suckers popping up everywhere. Now I have a whole Rose Of Sharon grove.
