Hello guys
i need help with my camponotus intrpidus "colony". i say colony but there just some queens and a few workers that got separated from there nest when i got some firewood for winter, i was able to get all the queens and a few workers (7 & 3) i know that they are infertile and im just taking care of of them as i would usually do during winter. This spp as most camponotus spp hibernate and ive given them some honey and they are in a nest thats a bit to big because i had no other place to put them and ive seen some workers of this spp around from other colonies so should i keep them till spring and keep the nest out side till nuptial flight or should i let them go??? im on the keep till spring way which is only a month away. Pls help me, thx.
