Hi Sarah,
In addition to the advise you have gotten so far ,all good. If you do not have OAV equipment an oxalic dribble is easy and cheap with a syringe from the feed store. As long as the bees are in loose cluster 45F+ mid day it should work well and not harm any bees. I would repeat later when you can be confident that they are broodless, Nov early Dec. Good instructions at Randy's site or lots of other places.
