I am seeing various YouTube beekeepers raising the dose per hive body and
the number of broodless applications of oxalic vaporization.  I use it on a
regular basis in the fall to keep mite levels down that my bees might pick
up from ferals and surrounding beekeepers.  I much prefer OA vape to the
dribble method for the mid winter broodless application too.  I currently
run two 110 volt Oxyvaps and am generally satisfied with them, in spite of
the hassle of having two extension cords to untangle.  I purchased one of
the 18 volt cordless units this summer but have not been happy with the
performance of the unit.  It is a nice design but very inconsistent under
continuous use.

Looking for thoughts on dosage amounts and timing.

best wishes,
Bill Lord
