Bundesrat of Germany. The German Bundesrat (literally Federal Council; pronounced [ËbÊndÉsÊaËt]) is a legislative body that represents the sixteen LÃ¤nder (federated states) of Germany at the national level. The Bundesrat meets at the former Prussian House of Lords in Berlin.
Carpenter ants are the largest of the house-infesting ants. Workers within the colony range in size from about 3/16 to 5/8 inches in length. Color varies among species, although black seems to be predominant. Carpenter ants, like termites, tend to prefer wood that is partially decayed by wood rot.
Most ants are black, brown, tan, or or red. All ants are social insects. With few exceptions, ant colonies divide labor between sterile workers, queens, and male reproductives, called alates. Winged queens and males fly in swarms to mate.Once mated, queens lose their wings and establish a new nest site; males die.ll ants are social insects.
