Mark,
You don't say where you are (in what state), or how much experience you have.
 I
suspect you are a beginner and if so, you better start reading some bee books
like
The Beekeepers Handbook, 3rd Edition, by Dr. Diana Sammataro.  Get a
Christmas present and start LEARNING.

Queens do not lay eggs during the late fall and very early winter; and some
races, like Carniolans shut down even sooner.  In my area, near Washington,
DC, Queens do not lay from about mid November until mid January.  Gosh, they
have to rest too!
