It should melt or dry down and the bees will remove it. Cold or even snow
will not hurt them as they will keep busy making babies in any case.
Packages actually do better with just a light honey flow then they would
say a major honey flow such as heavy Orange flow. You want them to rear the
maximum amount of brood for the next few weeks so you will have a strong
hive for your own major flow and not wear themselves out making honey.
 
Good Luck,
