Hi Taryn, I’m confident you’ll be ok with bees from outside your area. There is a fantastic video on Youtube, the title is “The City OF Bees” by the Moody Institute of Science. In that video it shows how beautifully the bees cope with different extremes in outside temps. There’s a little bit of preaching at the start & a lot at the end. Ignore that if you wish, however the information about bee culture is brilliant, I reckon. cheers
