I have trapped out numerous times with no problems.  It takes patience and a 
number of trips.  It is easier to do it in the spring when the population is 
low as are the honey stocks.  By the time everyone is trapped out there is 
little honey left.  I have heard of letting bees rob it out, but I have 
found so little honey remains that others have no interest.  That might be 
different in the fall.
