From page 219 of the Book, "Journey to the Ants" by Holldobler &
Wilson, the following is reported:

"To feed ants in the laboratory, we employ the Bhatkar diet
(named after it's inventor, Awinash Bhatkar), which is prepared
as follows:

1 egg
62 ml honey
1 gm vitamins
1 gm minerals and salts
5 gm agar
500 ml water

Dissolve the agar in 250 ml boiling water. Let it cool. With an
egg beater mix 250 ml water, honey, vitamins, minerals, and the
egg until smooth. Add to this mixture, stirring constantly,
the agar solution. Pour into petri dishes (0.5-1 cm deep) to
set. Store in the refrigerator. The recipe fills four 15-cm
diameter petri dishes, and is jellylike in consistency.


Alguien tiene el libro y ha tratado dar eso a sus hormigas?

También puedes usar la herramienta Buscar del foro y poner "agar" o "alimentación", porque hay bastante información por ahí de este tema.

Muchas gracias!
