I feel for you! But you have got to deal with the bees or just kill the
whole hive. When I was in Africa and had to deal with a particularly
difficult hive, I'd wear pants and a long sleave shirt with sweat pants
and tops over, and then the beesuit. But you've got to be master. If you
choose to got this route, then you need to kill the queen, then I think
the easiest thing to do would be to put a frame with a queen cell in. If
you want to introduce a new queen, then the procedure is somewhat
advanced, and involved. In my experience, an Afican hive doesn't readily
take in, say, and Italian queen, but it can be done. The queen cell method
should work, though.
