After 3 days of rain My queenless split was low on stores so i decided to feed however this cause the main hive to start robbing them out. I got there around 9ish and could see them flying from the nuc back to the main hive. All I had was some foam so I just bloked up the entrance for now.

What's the best plan of action now? I have 2 frames of stores in the freezer which I'm thinking about giving them. could I leave it blocked up for 24 hours give them a chance to recoperate? And maybe the robbers will look for an easier meal
