Proverbs 6:6-8 New International Version (NIV)
6 Go to the ant, you sluggard;
consider its ways and be wise!
7 It has no commander,
no overseer or ruler,
8 yet it stores its provisions in summer
and gathers its food at harvest.
I checked on them this morning and they had opened the entrance back up and were hunting around. So, I guess everything is back to usual. However, I'm not certain it was food related. They've had piles of flies in their lower chambers before and never closed up the entrance. This time, they hadn't been fed in days and I didn't see any piles of food reserves. So, I'm still open to theories.
They were observing a Camponotus holiday?

Winner!
The more I think about it I believe it may have been humidity related. We had a fairly long period of time with no rain and the air had become dry prior to them closing up the entrance. They finally opened it back up the day it rained. Perhaps this was a strategy to keep the dry outside air from pulling humidity from the nest.
