Try putting a entrance guard with excluder on the hive for a couple of weeks. It works for me. If the queen isn’t mated yet only use it for three days.

Living in Connecticut I cannot purchase a nuk until late May or June. When I put the girls to bed for the winter had Around 100 pounds of honey. I likely we have quite a bit of stores left, can I purchase my bees early spring given the amount of stores that should be left?

Check Craigslist or your local beekeepers association. There’s almost always someone selling their excess equipment or getting out of the game. 🙂
Good luck!
