It's been a while since I've been online, but I have a question. When do should I have put my prenolepis colony in hibernating, and when do I take them out. Do they hibernate in the winter? My colony is currently hibernating.

Prenolepis have a unique colony cycle where they hibernate both in the winter and the summer. Keep your colony in hibernation for around 3 months in the winter and then take them out.
