Hi!
My colony of Messor Barbarus is preparing now to hibernation. The are keeping some seeds in the nest and I do not know if keeping them during hibernation is OK.
Please help!

Re: Messor Barabarus hibernation
It's pretty odd to have the colony go into hibernation this late. But you should keep them at about 16-18 degrees. I don't know if they are doing fine inside the fridge or not. Sadly I probably won't be able to test this since I don't have an infinite amount of messor barbarus colonies at my disposial. :C
I could test it with some workers of an old colony but I cannot promis anything. :/

Doing some proper research is the best way to start an antcolony.
