I installed two packages last week. One of the packages was missing a queen. I recieved a new queen 3 days after installing the package. I put the queen box in the hive and that night it dropped below freezing (it remained windy and in the 40's for about a day and a half before warming up). 4 days later, today, I went into the hive to find the queen dead in the queen box (I am assuming from the cold). Should I try and get another queen, or will they raise a new queen on their own?
Thanks
