[QUOTE="2busy, post: 4197286, member: 12213"] I checked the weight on them before this cold spell. All felt pretty heavy still but one. It was a swarm I caught last year. I put some sugar blocks in it to help give them some food. It's pretty small and I don't think it will survive the negative temperature. Just not enough bees to generate enough heat. If I would have had time I would have put a double screen on a strong hive and placed the small hive on top. The double screen let's the heat from the strong colony through and keeps any fighting from happening through the screen. [/QUOTE]
