Hello everyone after my researchments I have found that I have a Pheidole Flaveria colony which needs 2-3 months hibernation according to antstore but it also says that it needs to be around 15-18 Celsius degrees in my country winter is like -5 to 5 degree should I put them to fridge which is around 10-13 Celsius degree will it be a problem for them? Thanks for helping guys.

I suspect your underground temp is significantly higher than your -5 to 5C winter air temp. I'm no expert but if it says 15-18 you should probably try to get that temp. What is your reasoning for 10-13
