In the case of AFB the hive is closed in the evening after flying has ceased and petrol is poured through the feed hole in the crown board. This kills the bees rapidly and humanely and also probably assists the subsequent funeral pyre. I have killed a colony of dangerously psychopathic bees by spraying each comb of bees with very dilute detergent washing up liquid using a mist sprayer.
