I read in some beekeeping text (I don't remember the
specific text) that one treatment for laying workers
that sometimes works is to move a couple of hundred
feet from the hive and brush all bees off of all
frames and hive parts onto the ground.  Supposedly the
laying worker almost never finds her way back to the
hive.  I assume that she has never been a forager and
probably evolved from a nurse bee.  Maybe that's why
she doesn't know where the hive is located.
