Orange tree in bloom - what would you do?

I have several citrus trees that I overwinter in containers. They are not dormant and are actively growing, one in particular (Campbell Valencia) is in bloom with new growth. Temperatures this weekend are looking good... high around 60F and low 40/35F and I think we are close to seeing the last of frost. My neighbor is a beekeeper and the bees typically come out of the hive around 50F. I want to take avantage of pollination and take them outside but it might be too soon (they are currently in my basement under grow lights). Are the low temperatures too low? What what would you do and why? Thanks!

BTW, two of my avocado trees (Day & Oro Negro) are in bloom as well. It's the same question but probably in a different forum. Unless you just happen to know... lol.
