Radio Shack (Tandy) sells a digital indoor/outdoor thermometer for about
$15 (US).  The outdoor sensor cable is ~5 feet long.  Plenty long enough
to easily go inside a colony.  Since the electronics part was intended to
mount indoors, it will have put in a weatherproof box.  A small plastic
box (cut comb container?) would do nicely.  Mount it on the outside of the
hive with a piece of Velcro and away you go.
