Cold weather in the Northwest

I'm am beginning my second year in beekeeping. The weather here has been so cold, have not had many chances to open the hives. Couple weeks ago was pretty warm (around 60), so opened all 3 hives I have and discovered one hive was dead. That was so disappointing. Did some research and talked to some people and came to the conclusion, that the Queen had died?????? So, now my big beekeeping adventures are down to 2 hives. I hope it warms up soon.
