OAV - "In my management schedule that would be 10 to 12 annually."
Has anyone ever considered rigging up little solar panels on each hive and
just running a constant vapor stream of OAV? That would cut down on the
need to monitor and all the hassle of trying to guess what the right
frequency of OAV might be considering the broodless/brooded states.
Perhaps, for the commercial operators maybe one big fan and a large pot
upwind of the apiary might be just as effective.
Why not go all in? OA is so cheap, multiple applications seems to be a
general consensus, and what harm does the stuff do to bees?
Just askin'......
