HOW TO MAKE YOUR ANTS SLEEP // ANT HIBERNATION TUTORIAL

In this video I am going to teach you how to effectively hibernate your ant colonies! As someone, who's kept ants for over 5 years and has successfully raised multiple colonies, I'm going to share my step-by-step guide on how to put your ants into hibernation, what to do once they are in hibernation and the correct ways to awaken them from their hibernation.

Very helpful tutorial on hibernating ants! I might use that tangerine method for sugar as a alternate way of feeding my ants if I have no honey, thanks for that!

Thanks for the video, I'm checking mine weekly as the water source is from above. I have lasius niger queen and about 10 workers, what temperature does it have to get to before I start to worry? It's currently at 8⁰c in my attic and with winter coming it will get colder I dont want them to freeze

None of my ants need to hibernate because they are all topical ants so I don't know why I'm watching this but this is informative.

What would happen if you didnt hibernate them?

I have a Lasius neoniger with 4 workers ready to hibernate. They have plenty of water. Should I still feed them once a month with honey or will the queen feed them when needed?

I just got a queen and it's summer but I want to plan ahead, my basement doesn't get cold enough to hibernate a colony and none of my house is, I don't trust the fridge so what's the easiest way I can safely hibernate my ants when the time comes? Also, what's the most effective way to heat my ants? My house always runs on air conditioner which makes giving the ants a proper environment impossible and I want to give the ants an area where they can be in a controlled temperature environment but I can't find enough information and I don't have a room I can set aside. Will putting the test tube in an empty fish tank with a reptile heater work?

when do I hibernate my new lasius colony?

[dtazombies]

Do I have to hibernate the full time or not

I have a question. I’m new in the hobby, although I tried getting started last summer. Unfortunately, all my queens died. This year, I have a Camponotus ligniperdus queen, and since I’m really fond of that species, I hope to be able to start a fine colony with her. But she ate the small batch of eggs she has laid, so did the one I caught last year, and that one died soon after. Now I know that camponotus ants lay in batches, and take breaks of sometimes a few months. But since it’s the beginning of September now, can I really hypernate her without any brood, and she will survive and start laying again after hypernation?
