So for some odd reason my Formica colony of 155 workers is foraging for food and are now active. Should I leave them in hibernation or take them out? (hibernation started October 5).

3 1/2 months? that's long enough for hibernation.
It is? I was told four to six months and no less.

I do 3 1/2 to 4 months hibernation time. 6 months is pretty extreme, although they can handle it. Northern species anyway.
