Regarding Randy's request for 1 minute post vaporization observation. I and Jennifer Short posted pictures. Do these pictures show any visible OA crystals or other evidence of the application? I thought that I was seeing a "dusting" by the light color of the cluster but only noticed that after looking at the photo. It could well be a matter of lighting? A very sharp eyed friend saw no evidence and in fact found 4 phoretic mites on the pictured frame. Sounds about right since a 300 bee count at that moment from that frame came up with 18. I have not been able to find any close post vaporization immigrates that would make it clear. Anyone else ? Thanks.
