I've seen this just in the last weeks, and today I took off work to go
look close, and the oaks are covered with aphids, and the ants are
harvesting honey dew from the aphids. It was windy, and the pictures
didn't turn out well, but you can see them stroke the aphids and the
aphids are giving off honeydew into the ant's mouths. I wonder if the bees
are doing this as well, especially as the lack of rain has been very
severe this year.
