I would be interested in some sort of elaboration or source citing here. For example what do you mean by "design". Ants aren't exactly encoding anything into silicon or filling books with mathematics. Can you qualify what you're trying to say?

Ants and bees are good at things like filling a space with a structured construction, or growing a structure while using the least amount of material. I wouldnt call it smarts, rather very-evolved patterns coded as instinct. The ant, as a group or species, can do a few things better than humans.
