This was recently discussed at length on the board last month (safety
and vaporizing vs trickle). In northern areas we can have brood
present into early winter. Oxalic Acid wether dripped or vaporized is
most effective when no capped brood is present. Hence if that
broodless period is in winter when hives are already wrapped
vaporizing is much easier then unwrapping and opening a hive in
30-40F weather.
Note: it must be above freezing to use any of the two OA delivery
methods.
