I assume  you plan to wrap?  If so wrap this one as soon as you get the 
good,  occupied box on top and the feed under.  Any additional warmth will help 
 them move the stores around.




How does wrapping create warmth?  The extra insulation may prevent  
necessary warmth getting to the bees, enabling them to break cluster and reach  
stores.  I once opened a hive in winter when the sun was shining at a low  
angle and was astonished how much extra heat could be felt inside the hive on  
the sunny side.
