Thomas,
Regardless of what you do with the honey, drawn comb is worth its weight in gold (well, maybe cheap gold), so your new package will be well ahead of the game in April. Honey sells for $10 a pound and cane sugar sells for 40 cents a pound. If there was enough to make it worthwhile, I would extract the honey for myself (that was the original point, right?) and generously feed sugar syrup to the new package when it arrives. The caveat to this is that if the "honey" is really just "sugar syrup honey" from fall feeding, I wouldn't want to eat it (it tastes like nothing), so I would save it for the bees.
