Update 5-15-2020
 
It's hard to see anything in these colonies, but the one that got workers has slowly gotten more workers, and I can see a bunch of pupae in one chamber. The other one I suspect has an infertile queen does have a large pile of eggs, but I can't see any that look like they are turning to larvae.

One of the colonies is doing pretty good and has about 50 workers now and plenty brood. The other one actually got some larvae and maybe a worker or two but then ended up dying. I still have the living colony in a large Dirt Box.

Did you end up hibernating this species?
