Doesn't PDB leave a residue in wax? A safer way of  using sulphur, if there
are concerns, might be to use sodium metabisulphate,  used as a presevative in
wine. a concentrated solution left in the roof of a  sealed-up hive overnight
would probably produce enough sulphur dioxide to kill  them, especially if a
little acid was added.
