I returned from a navy deployment to find my first hive was
failing with an (on-strike) queen.  Requeened - to no avail -
the only thing populous are ants and wax moths.
 
What is a good method of doing away with the very few remaining bees
so that I can salvage the drawn comb and honey for my new hives (and
to restock this one)???
 
Thanks
