Thanks for confirming my instincts!
I've re-scheduled.

I would not do that. A garden club should understand that you would not take plants out of a greenhouse and into freezing temps. It's the same thing with bees, at a higher temp threshold. It is dangerous to the bees, will kill the eggs, larva, etc., not to mention that that will make them feel threatened and thus more aggressive.
