Molecular biology shows that eusocial ants and bees share a common hymenopteran ancestor.; Since the Honeypot Ant stores nectar just like the honey bee, it's natural to think the two are closely related. However, genetic analysis reveals that ants are actually closer cousins to predatory wasps, which means the necator storage in Honeypot Ants is most likely a case of convergent evolution.
