Hibernation
Should I hibernate my ants now? I currently have a camponotus colony that has been eating a lot of food recently but now, they don't go to their out world anymore.

Re: Hibernation
wait till you stop seeing ants outside. in the spring when you see ants outside again, you can bring them out of hibernation
Proverbs 6:6-8
Go to the ant, you sluggard;
consider its ways and be wise!
It has no commander,
no overseer or ruler,
yet it stores its provisions in summer
and gathers its food at harvest.

Re: Hibernation
My Camponotus and Formica both have done what you have described. I am in the process of getting my colonies into hibernation but it seems my Tetramorium and Crematogasater are still doing their thing....but to you question, id say yes, it is that time and certainly sounds like they know it too lol. I live in TN and so I'm experiencing the same weather/climate. Anyways my friend, good luck.
