Firstly, what part of the country (or what country & what part) do you live in? Second, honey is usually made more palatable to ants by diluting it in water, making it easier to drink and less sticky.

I just want to make sure that honey is safe for ants. I heard raw honey is poisonous to ants. Is regular honey safe for them?

No, raw honey is not toxic to ants. What's dangerous for ants are the presticides that may be in the honey and for that it doesn't make a difference whether it's raw or processed.
We should respect all forms of consciousness. The body is just a vessel, a mere hull.
