If i'm not mistaken they are from south Europe (yes ?) so that means about 2-4 months of hibernation, temperature about 10°C.

The species occurs in both Central and Southern Europe. I wonder whether the hibernation time and temperature are dependent on the origin of the ants. Those from Central Europe probably need a longer hibernation time, but I suppose that even these do not need as long a time as does Lasius niger. Any more precise advice?

I invite all those who have this species to discuss their experiences of hibernating the ants.
