I have a colony of pyramid ants, I know the queen is fertile because she has laid eggs before and those hatched to 5 nanitics however that was back in September and she has not laid any more brood. Any Ideas?

I live in Colorado and my ants are right next to the heater, I also have a Tetramorium colony next to them who's Queen is laying eggs like crazy it could be hibernation but I am not sure they still move around quite a bit.
