Default Ants in banana flower

Hello all!

My banana plant has recently flowered and I noticed ants going for the flower(s)

Is this something to be concerned about? I neem oiled the tree recently just in case there were aphids/scale, but I dont see any other insects, just the ants.

Thanks!

Ants love that sugar.
The ants are doing what ants do
