My hive suffered some pretty intense robbing from some wasps and I am concerned that they aren't going to make it.
I have confirmed the queen is alive, but the cluster is pretty small. I have downsized them to one 10-frame deep that has 7 or so frames of capped honey.
What can I do to help them make it through the winter?
I am in a sort of mild climate in the California foothills where the lows will likely be in the teens occasionally, but will often be in the low 30s throughout this winter.
Highs will range from 40s-60s on most days.
