My question is; would it be safe for the bees dried, ground to powder and mixed in patties or used in a smoker?

_ I have a beekeeper who placed rhubarb sticks on the top of the bee cluster for mite control this fall. He also prefers organic rhubarb.  I am waiting for next spring to see if the bees will survive the mites! I asked him what is the mite level. Oops I don't know. do I need to monitor? Oxalic acid works as contact as most of the research showed. It can be applied as drench in liquid sugar syrup or sublimated as fumes into the hive. The dose makes the poison or does it?
