I was just looking at the tree outside my window smirking at me. They’re everywhere!

Any advice on the ants? The aphids do seem to be coming back strong every year, and I would guess ants are helping them overwinter.

Glad your tree made it!

Hah. :-D The aphids have sunk all their liquid assets into honeysuckle, but little do they know there’s a hostile takeover by a multigenerational firm underway.
