ANTSTORE World of Ants

[Scàth-Siorrai]

they can probably survive without it but that doesn't mean they don't need it either.the ants are less healthy/active without it and the queens lay a tiny amount of eggs...

Hi

I believe that a coloni that live in temperated climate, which does not hibernate probaly will have a shorter lifespan. And maybe it will also be a stronger, and more fastgrowing coloni.

I think that the way I used the word ´need´in this contects, was like Jogi does. My concern was if any european ant specie need hibernation to survive. But that does not mean that Scáth-Siorrai are wrong. I´ve made my decision, I´ll try with a Myrmica rubra when spring comes.
