ah, I think i understand. what you just described is supposed to happen; the enemy ants are attacking the orange tiles and that causes honey to spawn near them. if you were just ordering your ants around the map and not attacking the orange tiles, it would probably look like the game was only spawning honey under the red ants, when in reality it was spawning honey everywhere (but locked within the orange tiles) and only the red team was claiming them.
was it necessary to attack the orange cells??? I did not notice this, thinking that honey appeared by accident. It is also unclear how to win. I reached 99 eggs and it happened.... Nothing? It's also funny that queens can eat units (including their own, which allows you to quickly pump up the stomach capacity)
