Unlike bees, ants have two or three queens to a nest. Two ants working at a time are apparently sufficient to supply a nest of three or four hundred with food. When Sir John Lubbock first noticed two working for a whole nest he thought that they might be individuals remarkably fond of work, so he removed them. Two others took their places in foraging; and, as soon as they were also removed, two others took their places.
