Since your details show you have zero hives and you don't specify how many supers are involved, their contents or capped yes/no it's hard to advise.
Are you planning to use the honey yourself or sell it?
Maybe another Argyle beekeeper with local knowledge of weather etc can advise.
 
What's in the supers?
What's the brood store situation.
Winter feed is 2:1 sugar water or invert
I agree with above. What's everybody round you doing?
