Why do you need food coloring for them?
"The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer." Prov. 30:25
Keep ordinary ants in extraordinary ways.

For ants like honeypots or winter ants because it’s cool to see them drink it and the color go into them. You should just get hummingbird nectar the red kind because it isn’t toxic and most food coloring you will find is bad for the ants.
