Hibernation Advice Needed! L. neglectus

[AntsIkhlef]

Hello!
Here in Sweden Winter is approaching rapidly! but one of my colonies, My Lasius neglectus colony, doesn't seem to be preparing at all!
My Lasius niger colony has stopped producing eggs,
So this gives me the impression that they're preparing, but my L. neglectus are still producing eggs at rapid pastes,
And so i wondered if someone had any clues to why they would still continue to behave like this?!
Now it's worth mentioning that L. nglectus isn't present in Sweden as i pulled a wild card taking this queen home to Sweden from S. France as it was my first queen!
So maybe someone have some advice or idea, maybe even L. neglectus keepers themselves?

Thank you for Your Time!

If they seem ok with not hibernating, keep them awake! It could be that hibernation will kill them. I would assume a colony from southern France may or may not hibernate, depending on if the ground freezes in winter.
