I was late to hibernate my ants. I started in early January but now in mid January all the ants outside are coming out of hibernation. Will my Camponotus clarithorax stop producing glycerol now that they should be out of hibernation or should I keep hibernating them till march?

If you keep them at the same temperature, they won’t spontaneously stop hibernating. Glycerol shouldn’t even be an issue if you keep them above freezing.

"The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer." Prov. 30:25
Keep ordinary ants in extraordinary ways.
