I didn't see anyone post this topic so I wanted to ask this. Does A Fulva need hibernation and if so, when do they usually hibernate and what is the optimal temperature?

If you don't mind me asking, what country/state are you in?

Do you know what month to start around? I'm also going to be putting them in a makeup cooler so it only gets down to 50F which I don't think should be problem.

The cooler should be ok. Just put them in when you start to see inactivity in wild ants.
