Do the eggs have to be cooled for 9 months or can the cycle be shortened? – Can the eggs immediately be hatched for the next generation?

The eggs have to hibernate for at least 3 months. In a cold climate they don’t necessarily have to be refrigerated but when it starts to warm up they’ll start to hatch (hence the fridge is a good idea). There are strains in India where it’s hot all the time and there are mulberry leaves year-round that do not need this hibernation period. The strains I grow have been in this country for at least 30 years, and since we don’t have year-round mulberry leaves available, they work out well for growing once a year.
