hi, my previous colonies have loved:
BLACKTHORN (Prunus spinosa) commonly known as Sloe
Hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna)
Cherry tree leaves
Silver Birch leaves
Leaves and flowers of Chaenomeles speciosa 'Moerloosei'. commonly known as Japanese quince
and the obvious such as lilac, privet, orange white, melon (the juice), pea shells, apple outer skin - cut thinly

Nice. Japanese Quince, never see or tried that. What did you focus on during winter?

Re: Food Plants used by myself
my old atta colony used to love japanese quince, especially the flowers (the buds broken open or when they have just opened), also liked the leaves too.
In winter mainly used to feed mine Rose, privet, grape skin, apple skin, and orange pith.
