AB  - Burial of a nest formed of ice in the shape of a subterranean ant nest forms an underground facsimile of a nest after melting. Any desired level of similarity to natural ant nests can be achieved. Such nests can be used as tools for the study of ant nest architecture, or to provide ready homes for study colonies.
