@Ukantzz, no, Messor wasmanni lives aside Messor capitatus very often. Though they differ in habitat a little most of the time. But I wouldn´t say that Messor wasmanni lives in cooler regions.
Maybe you didn´t hibernate your queen? She only lays eggs after hibernation since, like all the Messor spp. which swarm late in the year and Messor wasmanni swarms in the fall.
@ProXi, you could put your basin up in such a way that it faces the sunlight from your window or something like that. Another way to improve the temperature would be not to put them directly on your table but to put them on polystyrene ( I think it is called that way in English) so that the basin looses less temperature.
