charles17: Myrmecocystus mimicus hibernation (19. Feb 2010 23:30)

Does anyone know if honeypot ants need hibernation? They naturally live in the desert, so I'm not sure if it'd be good for them to hibernate... Thanks~

They have something like hibernation. Many desert species do hibernate. Hibernation for desert species should be not under 20°C i think but they can live without hibernation, too, it won´t be a problem i think.

Not really sure about it, i think they can go without.
