Some, yes, but they learnt unnaturally fast. They didn't spend lots of time under a teacher, slowly absorbing knowledge - Pitou just extracted it from an almost-corpse, and god knows how it went for the other ants. So, while they're aware of the categories, raw instinct, rather than intellect, may have played a larger role.
