Aphids

The ants gather and protect the aphids, and milk them of honeydew.  In the winter, they will carry the aphid eggs back to their underground nests and keep them safe until they hatch in the spring, when they will once again be put out to pasture on the branch of a tree, in their hundreds and thousands.  I know humans are supposed to be the only creatures who think, but how could we think that this could happen without the ants ever thinking?
