Hi Jim:

>That said, I can't use Oxalic Acid. It is not approved in the USA just
yet. I sell my honey, so I have to stick with the approved methods.

Yes Jim, some seem to have forgotten that, or have they simply chosen to
ignore it. At the Southern Adirondack Beekeepers Association spring seminar
last spring, if I’m recalling correctly, Nick Calderone mentioned that
using Crisco patties in a hive is not *approved* and would be viewed as not
legal for use in hives that are producing honey for sale.

 >(That said, I did try powdered sugar for a season, as it was clearly
a "food grade" item.)

....and the results were???

Regards,
Dick Allen
