If the season is right then you can deal with finding the queen and lessen the stings.
Our bees use 8 frame full depth as brood boxes. For a vicious hive we set up 3, 4 frame nucs.
Give each nuc a frame of brood and another frame of brood or honey, add another 2 frames, fill the hive with frames. take the nucs away.
Next day add queen cell to each lot, where the queen cell is torn down is where the queen is, hopefully in a nuc with less bees and easier to find. Kill queen and after a few days as per post before, knock off new QC's
and add some eggs from a quiet hive.
Alternatively, if the queen is still in the main box, find, kill, knock off QC's and leave queenless until new Q's
in nucs are laying and add a nuc back to the main hive.
Hope this makes sense.
