So for some odd reason my Formica colony of 155 workers is foraging for food and are now active. Should I leave them in hibernation or take them out? (hibernation started October 5).

I do 3 1/2 to 4 months hibernation time. 6 months is pretty extreme, although they can handle it. Northern species anyway.

If its been 3 months or more, then any ant is fine to come out of hibernation.
