Ants may have been the first farmers in the entire world - starting soon after the extinction of dinosaurs. Their complex system provides food, safety, shelter, and health for the entire colony.  In the rainforest that could be 8 million ants.

Simply explained, with lots of detailed drawings to illustrate and fascinate. You’ll probably want to start an ant farm once you’ve read this.
