They pretty much just huddle together flexing their muscles for warmth in a big clump in the middle of their hive, and they do very little else until the weather warms up. (The queen bee gets the middle spot where temperature reaches up 80 degree).
Hope this helps,

Do carpenter bees attack bumble bees?
Carpenter Bees do not attack bumble bees.
Are honeybees the same as bees?
No. Some bumble bees are solitary but even the largest social bumble bee colonies are quite small with up to a couple of hundred members -- compared to a honey bee colony at 20,000 to 60,000 members. Also, bumble bees only store enough honey for their immediate needs because over the winter the new queens hibernate and the rest of the colony dies. With honey bees they have to build up a large stock of honey for food when they can't forage in the winter because they do not hibernate and a large part of the colony will survive through the winter.

Can bumble bees wasps and yellow jackets survive cold weather?
A bee hive is an artificial home for bees which has been provided by a beekeeper to keep his bees in. In prolonged freezing conditions, bees might find it hard to survive if their hive was unprotected. However, in an average North European winter, bees will survive perfectly well within their hive provided that they are sheltered from cold winds and damp within the hive. They cluster together to keep warm, and the bees are always changing position so that the same bees aren't always on the outside of the cluster.

What is the difference between honeybees and bumblebees?
Body shape is different: a honey bee's body is similar to that of a wasp, while the bumble bee has a round body. The bumble bee is also known for it's hairy or fuzzy appearance. Honey bees, although having a fine hairs appear much smoother. Bumble bees are also usually black and yellow in colour, honey bees more shades of brown. Bumble bees are similar to honey bees in that a hive will consist of a queen, female worker bees, and male drones, who are responsible for mating with the queen. They do produce honey, but in very small amounts, so they are not used for commercial honey production. Another similarity is that only the females possess stingers. Bumble bees tend to live in fairly small nests, which are usually in the ground. For this reason, they do not swarm like honey bees. Bumble bees can thrive in colder climates than most honey bees because they can regulate their body temperature and they have furry bodies. With many bumble bee varieties, only the queen will survive over the winter, and she hibernates in her nest. Honey bees do not hibernate, and although the drones are evicted from the hive at the end of summer and die, the queen and workers over-winter in the hive, taking the opportunity to forage whenever the air temperature is high enough.
What are the bumble bees adapations?
Bees have developed stingers to protect them from harm and fur in order to successfully gather pollen. They have developed these adaptations in order to survive longer.
