I have seen and read on these page, many methods to kill
bees affected by deseas.
I found that an easy way is to close firmly the entrance door ( in the night or raining day ).
From the syrup hole distributor I put in the hive one half glass of Bleach ( the clorine that your wife use for clothes and home cleaning) and half glass of liquid Ammonia (your wife use for  home cleaning, very common here in Europe ). This mixture is harmfull owig to poisoning gasses produced.
Once Closed the hole , in few minutes, all bees will die.

To kill a bees family is always a failure but necessay it may be, the cheapes and safer way is always welcome.

Merry Xmast and happy new millenium to all beekeepers.
