I had 2 hives of Italians.  One was later Africanized & wiped out the other
hive.  I can't get into the remaining hive to kill & replace the queen.
Just too aggressive.  Last time I tried opening the hive was not a pleasant
experience.  How can I get rid of the queen, preserve as many
workers/brood/honey, & repopulate with a package & new queen without
destroying the current brood or poisoning the comb & honey stores?
