Ant infestation in mealworm colony

I use wheat bran as bedding. I had them successfully without any problem for the last 5 months and today I saw an ant infestation in my colony. I recently changed the bedding as most of the bran was consumed by the worms. The ants killed all the beatles and pupae in another container which was placed in it I saved some worms but the real question is why did it happen? How do I prevent it?
