Oh definitely! They were originally from wild swarms that my wife caught for neighbors. Then we requeened them and basically left them alone. 
The less you open the hive- especially when they seal up for winter temps the better they do IMO. 
Oh and work on having year round flower forage opportunities on the homestead (and share plants with your neighbors for free that they will benefit from as well) 

 Awesome!  I want to capture a wild swarm someday. It’s good to hear they can be so self-sufficient. 

 Very cool stuff
