There wasn't any robbing to be did. I filled my hose end sprayer with dish soap turned the water on in the evening when they had quit flying. I washed down the entrance real good then removed the outer cover and hosed down the top intercover lifted it and repeted the hosing. I washed the bees off the top bars then started pulling frames and hosing each side down over the hive body. Placed each frame in a body bag
When they were all out I burned the whole mess of frames and frame feeder.
Back at the hive I scraped all the bees into a pail of soapy water just to make sure then strained them out and burnt them too. The hive body, inter and outercover I bagged in plastiac another one recived the sbb. they will all bee torched tomorrow and dipped in some acid I got.
No I don't feel good about destroying them but is better when in doubt then spread AFB if in deed it was that. They were queen less any way so in the end It would have took some time to get them up and going again. I have another club member bee keeper down the road less than a half mile with 40 colonys too.
