hi
anybody know the best temperatures to hibernate messor barberous and pheidole pallidulas,
the colony's are still producing new workers at moment but i will have to hibernate them soon.

[ant dude]

look around da forum its REALLY good help, this will answer your questions and other info u might want to know about these species!!!.................because i even checked myself i know the answer is there

[Purifier]

Yeah, every user advert the search function
The best temperature for hibernation is between 4° and 8° C i believe. But Google is an helpful instrument
Look from where your ants are and look for the actual temperature.....thats the best way

[pphakkar]

I was able to drop the temperature of my nest to 10 and there seems to be no activity anymore. I just wonder if that's cold enough.

here we go again
(i'm sure i already put this somewhere on this forum, but don't know where... )

Central European ants: between 0-10c°
South European ants : between 10-15°c

And i hope if you keep a species that you know where it comes from.

[pphakkar]

For the beginning this 10c° seems to work with Finnish ants too - no moving anymore.

[ant dude]

jimmve u did mate, quite a few times really

u should'nt just ask questions without running a search or checking the forum first it does annoy people im sure! just check before asking next time ok

[Purifier]

Hmmm 10°C seems a bit too warm for me
But its the maximum temperature JimmyVee writes. Look for them and watch them. And for the temperature too. When they dont move in the future and you could hold the temperature im sure it works....

hi guys
sometimes when you are working hard and you don,t have the time to look through the forum,i think it is less time consuming to pop a little question in to you guys that know, so as to get a quick answer.
this is not intended to offend,just letting you know my reasoning.

[Purifier]

Yeah. But when you write "Lasius niger hibernation" in the search tool you find good answers. And that dont cost much time
And "old rabbits" dont want to answer that question 3 times a day

But its no problem. We are not angry about you

hi
i went on search engine first and got 730 matches of which most were not in english and like i say it would take a lot longer trailing through the ones that were english.

[ant dude]

its quicker running a search, then it is asking a question that has already been answered du u know how to do the search thing?

sorry about the other day i may of come on a bit rude,sorry.

for pheidole pallidulla try useing the search engine its quite handy u know, u dnt have to though but i think u should try it out to see for yourself how helpful it can be,it really is a great function

[ant dude]

whoops a bit slow there!!!

i know its a f**king pain in da *rse, when loads of ones from other lanuages that come up. but if there already answered(some in english) u might aswell check them as i still think its faster but if u dont agree then thats your way of doing things i guees!!! sorry 4 above post a bit late in answering lol

[Purifier]

When you use the search engine only search in the English Forum. The most posts are in the German forum

lol
searching in the english part of the forum would give you the answers you required like purifier said.
