Ants score again

Frustrated by not getting the shot of the Bombus terrestris queen chewing the comfrey flowers the other day, I check the comfrey quite often. I am surprised - OK, not much I must say - by an ant (Lasius niger) walking on the flowers and entering them using the convenient hole made by the bumblebee queen. So, ants are also secondary nectar robbers!
