>My bias is that for cold climates, the key is whether the mated queens attract bees, tight clustering.   

Back when I was expanding my operation I was buying virgins. I would put them over an excluder on a hive and then only use the queens that had lots of workers on them. Those that had few or none, I would cull. I had great success with introduction with this method and my winter survival was very good.
