What is good way to kill africanized bees in a hive while leaving the combs
in usable condition?  Someone recommended burning sulfur powder inside the
hive, but how is this done?

My thinking is to kill the bees, then install a nuc colony into that hive.
Due to the location, it is not practical to simply requeen and wait.  I need
those mean bees out now.

Thanks.     -John
