An overwintering hive is usually either 2 deeps, or 3 medium(Illinois) boxes, or one deep and one medium( or shallow).. So, if you don’t have this many boxes, you will need to add another box. If you already have enough boxes, you probably don’t want to add more, assuming you are past the main honey flow in your area.

I would certainly not add Vitamin C. I don’t know of anyone that has tested this for safety of bees. Just mixing table Sugar and Water is safest thing to do. Then don’t put on too much that it will ferment before they eat it.
