At the end of the autumnal months the wasps' nest dies off, leaving only the young mated queens alive. These Queens fly away and find a safe place to hibernate for the winter. They tend to choose warm, sheltered sites, such as sheds or lofts. It is not uncommon to find a queen wasp hibernating in the folds of household curtains, or other undisturbed fabrics in the home.

∙ 11y agoFirst off, only those ants who live in colder climates hibernate. If it's warm enough and food enough they'll stay awake year round.
But those ants who do hibernate simply go into the deepest part of the anthill(which continue some ways into the ground) and stay there, close together.

∙ 7y agoAlthough 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.
