Is there any general concern about dribbling oxalic acid when brood is
present?

Where I am in the UK (about 150 miles north of Peter Edwards)  the bees are
still flying well most days
and bringing in pollen.  Peak daytime temperatures are about 10-15 C(
50-60F).  There will be a lot more brood in the hives in December ( which
is when I usually treat) than in previous years.
