Has anyone NOT hibernated high-elevation camponotus species in California for long term with no adverse effects?

More than two hibernation cycles, preferably more.

I highly doubt that a high elevation Camponotus species can be healthy and live without hibernation. Camponotus are very sensitive to not being hibernated.
