Alright thank you for the help guys its really appreciated. Especially for a newcomer like me that is not sure or confident yet in my abilities to properly take care of a ant farm. I also really appreciate the fact that you guys responded to an ""old"" message you dont see that often in other forums, thank you.
Don't worry I though of the bacteria that uncooked meat could bring so I gave them a mix of cooked meat and honey, A good balance of sugar and protein before the big sleep.
Just one final question that i forgot to mention if you dont have access to a fringed can a cold room also do the trick? I was planing to put them somewhere in the basement where its usually cold,plus I am planing on putting the tube directly on the basement concrete since that ""attracts"" the cold. At the same time I did put a thermostat in the area i wanted to put them in to see what the temperature there would be. Oh and I'm assuming that you check on them during hibernation to make sure they are ok and that mold does not form, if it does form do I change them or leave them be until spring?
