Keep them in the house, nice and warm and cozy. If you are afraid of escape you can use the bathroom. make sure they have access to food if you need to you can insert a marshmallow and then the cork.

I would grab a frame of bees with bees on it and but the queens in with them, they will keep the queens ok for a few days.

They will need water. Put a drop or two on the screen. Touch the screen, don't drag your finger across. Do this about 2 or 3 times a day. They should be fine.
