Yeah they have three to four ants with full social stomach
They could not need food, so they won’t forage if they don’t need anything. My Camponotus will randomly not forage for a week and just stay in their tube. Not hibernation, not diapause. They still lay eggs so…

Ok so they are definitely hibernating. I gave the a mosquito right outside the nest entrance and they didn't even touched it! They never even came out! So i made a little gate thingy with a small vinyl tube inside cotton and used it to block the entrance and now they are closed in their test tube. Because you have a condition where they have repletes and will not eat. And then you have a totally dormant colony which doesn't even care that a huge and from the sky is picking their house and blocking all the doors

Nothing much has happened to the colony. They just seem to like being huddled and dont move. The brood hasnt grown so the colony wont grow. The caterpillar also doesn't seem to grow but is alive as i have poked the cocoon with a stick and it wiggled (dont ask me why i poked it). Sawa honey bee die yesterday :( It also rained yesterday so i was hoping to find maybe a random alate but instead saw 12 black crazy ants carrying a tiny slice of apple up the wall

Huddled together…. Reminds me of Lassus Niger hibernation.

Man there is really nothing to post. They are chilling (literally) and the cocoon has also not progressed. There are roof ants like black crazy ants and fire ants. I saw me old friend, trichomyrmex destructor chomping on a dead fly. I can easily tell species in my area because there isn't alot of variety.
