Hi Pete & All

Are you using OA exclusively?  It seems here on Bee-L that OA is the  
wonder treatment.  From the very start when we followed the lead from  
Europe we were warned that the hives must be broodless because OA  
cannot penetrate the wax cappings as formic acid can to kill the mites  
in the brood cells.
