I was able to find a teaching supplies store which had science equipment including test tubes. You could try to search your area for that! Thank you Just saved me so much money...only place I could find tubes was charging me 3$ per Awesome!! Yeah that should get you by while you're hunting queens. ...

From what I gathered, it sounds like we just need to move them to a place slightly warmer than outside temps like an attic or basement.
