Does dry ice give off CO2? I'm not knowledgable in this area. We used CO2, at school, to anesthisise(sp?) queens for AI. So, I don't think that trying to kill a hive with CO2 would be quick enough, nor effective enough. I know that soapy water is used by firefighters when they are called out to a bee spill. I haven't used it myself. So, I don't have an informed opinion. Kerosene works well, but then the equipment isn't really useable as far as the honey is concerned.
