What symbiotic relationship is between aphids and ants?

The ants squeeze the aphids to extract a sweet tasting liquid and in return, that ants protect the aphids. I do not believe the foregoing statement. I wonder whether the person who wrote it has ever seen anything of the kind happening. I have seen ants eating aphids, cutting them up and carrying them away, and I have seen ants stroking aphids with their antennae, which seemed to stimulate the aphids into giving up honeydew. However, I may have misinterpreted that stroking; possibly touching the aphid with the antenna was just to see whether there was any honeydew to pick up, and the aphid might have been about to produce honeydew anyway. In any case, there certainly is a symbiotic (more precisely, mutualistic) relationship between many kinds of ants and many kinds of aphids. Generally speaking it takes the form of ants protecting aphids and removing their (unwanted) honeydew for their own purposes.

Can you find ants in snow?

Although ants can be seen in various places from spring to autumn, they go into hibernation in the winter. In addition, from spring to autumn, many ants are seen to come from, and go into, the entrances of their nests, but these entrances are closed in winter and no ants are seen to come from there. During spring and autumn they gather enough food to make it through the entire winter season,thats alot of food,so they work all spring and autumn.
