Best Answer

Honeypot ants are unique because they have a special group of workers that the rest will forcefeed with nectar, so much they will swell up and become unable to move. They'll hang from the ceiling of special chambers, their abdomen (butt) completely swollen. Whenever the other ants need food in a time of shortage, these honeypots will regurgitate their nectar to feed the rest. They're living storage. ^^

What are the adaptations to survive in the temperate rainforest?

plants have adaptations to help them survive (live and grow) in different areas. Adaptations are special features that allow a plant or animal to live in a particular place or habitat. These adaptations might make it very difficult for the plant to survive in a different place. This explains why certain plants are found in one area, but not in another. For example, you wouldn't see a cactus living in the Arctic. Nor would you see lots of really tall trees living in grasslands.
