I will be a bit clear here, Sunburst™ Ant Nectar is not a necessity for your colony. However, I will have to add that it contains many of the nutrients which you wouldn't get in other sources. e.g. salt. As a matter of fact, I once kept a colony of Bradley's Field Ants going for months on Sunburst and neglect alone. I do believe it is better than any current other sugar solution on the market. Sunburst is:
Bottle of convenient & reliable liquid sugar ant food
100% clean, natural ingredients with no preservatives added - enjoyed by all sweet-loving ants
In addition to sugar, Sunburst supplies the perfect balance of electrolytes to stimulate appetite and promote natural feeding response
The bottled product remains fresh up to 6 months after opening, and no refrigeration is required
Does not contain protein. Feed alongside insects and a variety of other natural foods for a nutritionally complete diet.
