Yes,
They go into hibernation during the winter-

As long as they can get below the frost line which is typically 3 feet. No color the dyes will effect the worms.

Absolutely not. Your worms will die. Worms must have temperatures of 50 to 85 degrees to survive and multiply. My worm farm is easily contained in my house. I have a 18 gallon wal-mart container. I drilled airholes all around the top of the container just below where the lid snaps shut. I use newspaper bedding all the time and, of course, the kitchen vegetable scraps. It does not take a huge space to create a worm farm. My container has probably 4 000 to 5000 worms and creates enough worm compost to fertilize my 30 by 40ft garden. I keep the container in a remote corner of the house and no one would even know I have a worm farm if I didn’t tell them. It just looks likes a storage box. If you want more info please feel free to email me.
