They are connected to one of the entrances to the colony by a vertical tunnel that is dug out by the worker ants in very hard earth.///Les chambres des fourmis pots de miel se trouvent généralement à plus d’un mètre de profondeur. Elles sont reliées à l’une des entrées de la colonie par un tunnel vertical qui est creusé par les ouvrières dans un sol très dur.
