They have some really enormous pupae. Maybe there's going to be more than 1-3 queens this year.
As can be seen by the stripes, they are really well fed.

Ok, so how long should be winter period for them? What is the best temperature for it? I noticed my colony stagnation and I decided to turn off heating lamp for some time. It's summer time now so probably it won't help alot but when it will be winter time I will keep them in room temperature of about 17-18 celcius meaby this will be enough. If no then I have to think of what to do.
About 3-4 months with temperatures of around 18°C and a few weeks with night time spikes of 15°C or lower should be fine. They don't need 15°C all the time but there should be some weeks with peroids of a few hours per day that go down to that or below (opening the window for a few hours during some time of the day (like when you come home and do stuff in another room for a while) seems to be enough).
