The honeypot ant has the ability to steal honey from beehives. It is able to do this while going undetected.
No, a honeypot ant is not a herbivore. Honeypot ants primarily feed on nectar and honeydew from aphids, but they are classified as omnivores because they also consume other food sources, including plant matter and insects. The defining characteristic of honeypot ants is their ability to store food in their swollen abdomens, which they regurgitate to feed other colony members.
Honeypot ants are unique because they have a special group of workers that the rest will forcefeed with nectar, so much they will swell up and become unable to move. They'll hang from the ceiling of special chambers, their abdomen (butt) completely swollen. Whenever the other ants need food in a time of shortage, these honeypots will regurgitate their nectar to feed the rest. They're living storage. ^^
While honeypot ants eat, their abdomen can reach the size of a small grape. The ant itself is just the size of common red ants. Sometimes they swell up so much that they are rendered inable to move.

The ant with a large abdomen, known as a replete or honeypot ant, plays a crucial role in the ecosystem by storing food for the colony during times of scarcity. This stored food helps sustain the colony during periods when food sources are limited, contributing to the overall health and survival of the ant colony.
