I kept colonies of these in the past, but they never came above ground, so I didn't know if they were dead or not, and I forgot to give them water so they didn't survive hibernation.  I recently found another one of these colonies in my yard. I found 3 queens, and about 7 workers. I will post pics after I get them into a tube.

Make sure to keep them humid. They love humidity.

That's how my past colony died. Over hibernation, I forgot to give them water, and when I came to take them out, the soil was dry as bone.

That won't happen with this colony.
