Yesterday, when I attempted to transfer the remaining bees from the queenless behive to the successful behive, I placed the comb from the queenless hive in the freezer for 24 hours to kill any eggs and developing drones. This evening I took the comb out of the freezer and placed it in the remaining beehive.
Everything seemed to go well except that I was stung once in the ankle. I immediately scratched out the stinger, and, later, took diphenhydramine (Benadryl). This hasn't prevented my ankle from swelling up and aching, but I guess I deserve it for killing so many bees yesterday.
