I am looking for the information about Camponotus aethiops species. I found the queens during my vacation in Croatia. I identified them as C. aethiops. This species is unknown in Poland and I cannot find the comprehensive info how to breed them.
I keep them in warm place /about 30 degrees/ but I dont have any eggs or brood since one month. The queens seems to be in good form. I tried to feed them with many kinds of food: honey, yolk, apple, seeds but they are not interested.
Should I hibernate them? For how long and where? I usually use the fridge - isnt it too cold for them?
thank you for help!
regards
