Pesticide law is determined federally--states are allowed to be more
restrictive.  Since our discussions on this list are supposed to be
"informed," it behooves us to post accurate information, especially with
regard to the legality of any recommendations posted.  I'd hate to see
someone fined for following advice posted to the List.

The most recent info I could find states:
> Currently, there are no registered pesticides that are approved for killing bees.
> Delaware Department of Agriculture Pesticide Advisory Committee
> Meeting Minutes for March 13, 2007

Legally, one could use para-dichlorobenzene which is approved for fumigating combs. 
The honey would be unfit for human consumption, one would need to remove it first.
