So if your monitoring tells you that the brood is heavily infested with
Varroa, why not take it out and freeze it and treat with oxalic or whatever
else is
legal and appropriate when the only mites in the colony will be phoretic?

If you're going to go to all that trouble, why not just use sucrose
octonoate and you don't have to worry about the effects of OA on human
beings, including the beekeeper?
