We had queens come in a battery box last spring during a month of bad
weather.The queens were cages w/no vorkers and the workers were out w/the
sponge and feed.
every few days we added water to the sponge and a good size peice of comb
honey.
each week we uses a few queens and added new young workers to the battery
box
when we had it open.It kept in a cool dark spot in the closet for 30 days
with no apparent adverse effects on the queens.
You should be OK for a few days
