Please help queen not laying eggs

[AntsWisconsin]

My Formica queen has laid her first batch of workers and they can now walk around but for the last two weeks she has not been laying any more eggs. I hope this does not mean she is going to die

This is common with Formica, she probably wont lay more eggs until next spring.

You don't need to feed them at all, just make sure they have water.

When my ant colony hibernates should I leave them in my house, put them in my garage, or put them in a mini fridge at a special temp?
