Hello i got a new queen today my old one stopped laying and i do not have any drones flying yet and they built several queen cells and i cut them out. So i added a frame of capped brood and some young larvae to them an they did not build any More i looked the hive over and the old queen was not in there so i put in my new queen in and they went right for the cage and now it is getting cool and i have a shim on top and i laid the queen cage on top of the frames now i just checked them and bees were all on the screen side and they have formed a small cluster around her i think they are feeding her will they keep her warm during the nite or will the heat from the cluster keep her warm until they let her out.The screen is sort of laying on it's side some of it is down between the frames and how long will it tak for them to eat the candy out for her to be released.
