I put a queen "includer" over the entrance hole to hopefully prevent them from absconding. There are a few other bee size holes in the hive that I plugged up for now. The hive still has the smell of the wax/oil/turpentine finish that I put on it a week or so ago. I hope the smell doesn't drive them away.
The nasty weather today (and predicted for the next couple of days) should keep them inside and hopefully building comb (and building it where I want it).
