Many thanks to those who responded to my request for ideas on Apistan
strips as well as ideas on how to make life easier for separating "welded
together" upper and lower hive bodies.  Actually, I think I did quite
well.  Instead of fighting the whole body, I removed about 4 frames from
the middle of the upper body leaving 3 frames on each side.  I then
removed the upper body with much less resistance and it was really quite
easy.  Thanks again to all who were helpful.
