Do I have to hibernate these? I read that they were originally from the tropics.

Obviously no, haha. They're a super invasive species that should be made to hibernate permanently.

So I don't?
I don't believe there would be a need to. They seem to be able to do well without it.

Thanks! Makes sense. I have very high hopes for this colony! I have not seen a journal where there were more than one queens in a colony.

Have you read this?:

I think hibernating them for long periods might be a good way to contain their growth a bit. On the other hand, I know from personal experience growing up in Honduras that they do not require it.
