If the hive is heavy, I wouldn't worry about it. If it's light, put some feed on. They may not take it, if it's too cold, but at least it's there for warm days.
I don't live in North Carolina. :) Maybe it's a good time to feed there. I did put pollen patties on and there are frame feeders in my hives, but they aren't very interested int he syrup. I put some dry pollen and substitute out and the bees are going nuts for that. They are also searching every old comb on the place for bits of pollen.

I just wanted a second opinion or experience. Thank.-todd
