Try dumping all the bees onto the ground a few yards from the hive. 
While they are there slip a frame of good brood into the hive plus a 
protected queen cell or caged laying queen.  If you use a queen release 
her in 3 days.  It usually works for me but nothing seems to be 
guaranteed with laying workers.  The other method is to continually put 
young brood into the hive till all the laying workers are dead but that 
is probably not worth all the brood and effort.
