Sure you don't have a German breed honey bee? I had a hive  like that. Then 
they started making more drones than workers. Then they died  out. I was not 
broken hearted. I could only work the hive from 11am - 1pm. other  than that 
mine was too nasty. Could try replacing the queen. Do it like you  would any 
other replacing task I would think. Call a queen breeder that can tell  you which 
queen to get. Or find a good working time for nasty little  things.  Last 
resort, rob them and then terminate the hive. Check with  Dept of Ag. Think they 
Africanized?  In WV we've killed 3 swarms that  was.
