Hi, last year I relocated 2 hives of bees to my parent's house in Southwest
Georgia (Faceville, Ga).  I came down this weekend and checked on them.  To
my surprise, they are full of ants.  They are full of bees too but the ants
are on the top of the top screens.   There were plenty of what I think is
ant eggs too.  My dad says they are wood ants.  1 hive had so many ants of
it that I could not even get into the super without getting ants all over
me.  Any suggestions of how to get rid of the ants without harming the bees
or is this just a lost cause?

Thanks!
