Another difference that I know are that ants have more species than bees, but they only beat them by 2,000 species.

Fungus for larvae and sap for adults are what leafcutter ants eat.
Specifically, the ants in question (Acromyrmex and Atta spp) cut and transport fresh flowers, grasses and leaves. The fresh vegetation feeds colonies in the fungal family Agaricaceae. Leafcutter ants grow antimicrobial bacteria on their backs to keep the fungi pest-free and tasty. They imbibe the sap from foliage while foraging.
