The Baker's Patio Series
The Festival
Towards the end of the summer season, the colony celebrates the year
A successful ant colony takes a lot of work. A lot of digging and gathering. Rebuilding crumbled tunnels and providing food for everyone. Even ants deserve to take one day to celebrate all the good things they have in their lives. At the end of the summer season, the colony under the Bakers’ Patio, holds such a celebration… highlighted by the annual visit of some special guests.
