Ants live for only about two months, except for the fertile females who live for nearly a full year. Ants usually hatch in late spring. The workers exist only to sustain the colony, and they die in the late summer. The fertile females, or queens, though, hatch at the same time but survive until winter when they hibernate, and then emerge in the spring to lay the eggs from which the next year's ants will hatch.
