We had huge black ants and found out they were carpenter ants. They are different than termites but can still cause structural damage to a home. We had an exterminator come out. He comes out twice a year now. We were lucky to find out where their nest was (neighbors tree). It was crawling with millions of them one night around midnight. It was like a Horror flick. Google carpenter ants and see if they look like what you have.
no they are not but honey bees are
In some cultures, black ants are considered lucky because they are believed to bring good luck and prosperity. This superstition may vary depending on different beliefs and traditions. Overall, ants are seen as hardworking insects that symbolize patience, diligence, and cooperation.
yes
Black ants and carpenter ants differ in size, color, and nesting habits. Black ants are typically smaller and black in color, while carpenter ants are larger and can be black, red, or a combination of both. Carpenter ants also have a more rounded thorax compared to the black ants. In terms of nesting habits, black ants usually build their nests in soil or under rocks, while carpenter ants prefer to nest in wood, where they can cause damage. Unfortunately, I am unable to provide pictures to illustrate these distinctions.
Everyone needs a hand sometime. :)

The distinguishing feature of black ants with a striped bottom is the presence of stripes on their abdomen, which sets them apart from other black ants that do not have this characteristic.
carpenter ants do not eat wood like termites, but they do bore through wood to create galleries for their nests. [this replaces a very false answer--good sources for more answers and identifying different species of black ants--this can be tricky--are univsersity extension services you can find on the internet, they have URLs ending in .edu]
