This is appears to be a recent statement for oxalic on bees in US

> It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.

> Use only in late fall or early spring when little or no brood is present. Oxalic Acid Dihydrate might damage bee brood. Oxalic Acid Dihydrate will not control Varroa mites in capped brood. Do not use when honey supers are in place to prevent contamination of marketable honey.

> Apply only when monitoring indicates treatment is required. Consult state guidelines and local extension experts for monitoring protocols and thresholds for treatment.

In view of the above, why would people be applying when supers are on? It says at the top late fall and early spring -- only.  Top bar beekeepers should take the honey combs that they want to eat away before they treat. What am I missing?
