For most of us, this is a real pain in the neck. Does anyone have suggestions on harvesting honey while trying to keep SHB under control?

I freeze the frames, thaw, extract, let the bees clean the frames, freeze again, then store. truly a pain but better safe than sorry. I beetle in your stored boxes is enough to destroy all of comb. moth crystals & BT have no effect on beetle larva.
