I had a hive with laying workers - tried to requeen twice unsuccessfully
before I realized what I had.  Hive was still in two brood supers (no honey
supers).  Put it on the truck & drove about 100 yards away across a small
field.  Dumped all the bees out, removed each frame and brushed the bees
off, then placed the frames one by one in an empty brood super.  Any
scattered drone brood I uncapped.  Then replaced the now empy hive back in
its original position.
  The next morning there was a sizable cluster of field bees in the lower
super, with few bees upstairs.  I pulled off the upper super, put a sheet of
newspaper over the bottom super, then replaced the upper super.  Then I took
out four frames of comb from the upper super and replaced them with four
frames from a four frame nuc with brood and  queen. I also added a division
feeder with 1-1 syrup.  Four days later the bees had worked through the
paper and I just removed the rest of it - they seem to be doing fine.
