*The edible eggs of a type of ant
*Similar to [[Roe]] or [[Caviar]]
*It '''IS''' an animal product, but perhaps can be done like [[Beekeeping]] where it isn't 100% harmful and more so symbiotic/non harmful but technically parasytic (ie nnot 2 way exchange, but no negativ effect), NOT predatory (take and bad effects)
*Is traditional foodstuff, but is becoming "hip" and sells for high profit due to it's difficulty in harvesting (near hunter-gather levels as of now, and also is semi-destructive)
**Similar to early "wild honey" where natural beehives were essentially used, not helped + farmed
*'''Granted more research is needed to see if there IS any modified/intensified farming, in the past, now, or in labs/development'''
*Should be relitively easy (like beekeeping, main concerns would be localized epidemics in the hive/comony, food needs of the colony, and technical housing space etc, all semi easily adresssable with the proper literature and/or [[SME]] 's
*Also need to see where the market is '''Eating Insects and/or non-avian eggs it taboo in many countries'''
**But india, latin america, and many other areas eat [[Locusts]] / [[Grasshoppers]] , often fried and the are quite good!
**Also can be sold as a flour, [[BSF]] powder, or [[Locust]] / [[Cricket]] powder is sold for protien
**Also MAY be a minute source of [[Formic Acid]] , but this is VERY inefficient, and a semi-gorey process, so most likely isn't worth it
*** '''ALSO''' gmo yeast/algae/e-coli could be given this gene and used for this (if it hasn't been done already) for more intitial work, but much higher yields, and less effort later, if a biological route is 100% needed, as opposed to chemical (co)synthesis
*Also may be useful in a similar to [[BSF]] for bio-digestion / reduction of organic waste
