Hello! I just caught a Camponotus semitestaceus queen and am wondering if she needs to be hibernated? I saw on a video that they dont necessarily need to. Anyone with more knowledge care to help?

So now I am left with just a camponotus queen. I was wondering if I fed her honey (which I did) and gave her a whole new test tube setup, ...

Im actually in a somewhat similar situation. Except, I got my camponotus queen through the GAN project here, and she had 9 workers. I guess I hibernated them incorrectly, as all 9 died, and she had eaten her eggs. I felt, and still feel awful about it. What temperature did you hibernate them at? I ...

Im not seeing any pictures if they were posted
