Comment on Why does every commercial depiction of honey involve one of this things? Literally nobody has ever seen one of these in real life

  Are you an alien from another planet?

    I’ve only ever had like a single ant that came in when i opened the door. I would then pick it up and set it outside or sometimes kill it. I never had a whole line of ants enter my house and I’m certain they can’t.

      How are you that certain? Do you live in a hermetically sealed clean room?

      You’re not going to see that until one of the scouts discovers the open honey jar and reports back

      lol do you not have any other bugs in your house? houses aren’t built to be airtight because you’d literally have trouble opening and closing doors due to suction or pressurization. if they’re not airtight then bugs can get in

        Honestly, no. I only ever have singular moths or ladybirds or stinkbugs that fly in when I open the window. They’re easy to catch and set outside. Some spiders here and there. Maybe house flies in the summer, but not too many.
        I’ve read about protecting your sugar from ants on the internet, but have never heard about that from people irl and never seen the need for it.
        I live in a brick house, not a wood frame house, which might be the explanation.
