It's for hibernating ants.

Because it’s so obvious.

Wine from the sweet nectars of ant gasters--aged. That would be some expensive wine. Just make sure the temps get 'lower than 11C' -antguy.

I just use a mini-fridge myself, but I figure any would be fine as long as you get a good price. Just check Amazon or eBay. Conversely, you might find really cheap mini-fridges at Goodwill or other thrift stores.

I got a wine cooler off ebay for 70$, unfortunately it only gets down to 52 F (11 C, as silq said), luckily it should be fine since I don't have any true hibernating species, but I will likely have to get a different one eventually but for now this works. If you were wondering it is black and decker brand, 16 bottle wine cooler

That’s very nice. I have a cuisinart 12 bottle wine cellar. I haven’t used it yet and this will be my first year to place ants in diapause state. 6 starter colonies.
