Temperature in California (Bay area)

Hello Everyone,

The weather in the California Bay Area has been extremely hot lately (high 90s) and one of my queen tetramorium ants has died because of it. I still have a few more who seem to be doing alright, but I just want to know if there is anything I can do to keep them at safe temperature (not too hot or too cold)?

Thank you for your time to whoever replies.
Keeper of:

3 young tetramorium colonies (30 to 40 workers each)

I suggest asking the anters on Formiculture-a large portion of that forum is based in Cali.

If your tubes are getting way too hot (like over 30°C) you can place them on a wet cloth to cool them down.
