the claim

Ants bury their dead in dedicated graveyards.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
2 sources for · 1 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that ants bury their dead in dedicated graveyards?

Partly. One reference reports that some ant species bury corpses while others carry them to refuse piles or random points away from the nest, and an 1891 naturalist column asserts ants bury their dead. No placed source describes dedicated graveyards, so the evidence only partly addresses the claim.
