Yes I might use it If I would be spraying. - I use oxalic by dribbling ( dropping sugar / oxalic solution on the bees) No need to pull out frames, the whole process takes about 30 seconds/ hive. We have not seen noticeable bad effects from oxalic when used properly. (Data of hive strenghts from 3 years) But you must not overdo it !
If Sucrose actonoate would be on the market here in Europe I would like to try it, but I doubt how much it would be used here. Very few use oxalic here with spraying because dribbling is so much less work. But as far as I know about Sucrose actonoate it should bee a good one to treat swarms.
