Have any of the test application methods for Sucrose Octanoate included the
use of an electrostatic sprayer.  Given the challenges of getting good
direct contact coverage this might me interesting technique to look at.

I will pass on the info Brent to those testing.

 The burgess fogger did not work according to Dadant I have been told due to
the sucrose octanoate burning and  stinking.

Any other suggestions from the list on methods to use SOE without removing
every frame and spraying bees or a better application method other than
simply spraying from a common one gallon sprayer (such as an electrostatic
sprayer as Brent suggested)?
