Do you have a fall flow from Goldenrod, etc? I would think you could get 
queens mated during that flow.

I finished making my nucs on the 15th of August. Two weeks later than ever 
before. I wanted to see how late I could make them, and have them winter 
successfully. I made them a bit stronger than usual, and added an extra 
comb of feed. You're in Connecticut, so could go a bit longer, but I 
wouldn't wait much longer. Perhaps Rollie H. would be able to answer your 
question, as he raises queens and winters nucs in CT.
