dc.description.abstractIn the course of conducting honey bee experiments on the Greek Island of Lesbos we took the opportunity to observe the reactions of ants, Messor oertzeni Forel (Hymenoptera Formicidae Myrmicinae), to a baited ant trap placed in its main foraging path (active ingredient: sodium cacodylate). Each trap had three entrances and we tested five nests. For 14 days we observed the nests and photographs were taken daily to document our observations. Following a baseline condition in which none of the three entrances were open, one entrance was open. Several days later the entrance we opened was turned 90 degrees away from the main foraging trail and a second entrance was opened and placed in the same orientation as the first entrance (i.e., in the main foraging path). Our observations revealed that for four of the five ant colonies, the ants built a barrier around the opened entrance preventing other ants from entering the trap. The materials they used to bar the entrance was composed of twigs, pebbles and soil. We believe that the apparent ability of ants to avoid the effects of an insecticide by baring the entrance to a bait trap is a novel finding and should be replicated under more controlled conditions.en
