Take the hive and carry it a few hundred feet from your other hives.
Shake all of the bees out of it.
Give the boxes to other hives to clean up.
Any bees that can fly and drift will do so.
Those that can't will perish.
Laying workers won't accept a queen. And most won't bother to raise one from
a frame of eggs.
What you aim to do is keep your boxes on strong hives to beat the wax moths.


Good Luck
