Most ants hibernate in the winter. Usually in their nests but sometimes in the bark of a tree or underneath rocks. They don't even eat!! There is one type of ant (Messor aciculartus) that takes grass seeds into its nest to snack on when it gets cold.

It depends on the species and the climate. Some ants go dormant in the winter and others burrow down through the dirt and live underground, below the frostline.

Their coats grow thicker, and they "squirrel away" nuts and seeds.

Can you find ants in snow?

Although ants can be seen in various places from spring to autumn, they go into hibernation in the winter. In addition, from spring to autumn, many ants are seen to come from, and go into, the entrances of their nests, but these entrances are closed in winter and no ants are seen to come from there. During spring and autumn they gather enough food to make it through the entire winter season,thats alot of food,so they work all spring and autumn.
