We inspect colonies in sheds using red light.  As per how to  hive packages 
in cold weather - I can't see Allen stuffing individual bees back  in to 
the hive through the hole  in the inner cover :)
 
In MT, if we're short on honeycomb and have to hive in cold weather, I pour 
 granulated sugar into the combs, mist with just enough water to provide  
some resistance to the sugar from falling back out.
