Hi Chris,
    The acid is probably neutralized, and of course it already occurs in
honey.  However, Technically (legally) it's not for human consumption.  I
think Randy's working on an OA residue study that he can submit to the EPA,
and hopefully they'll call off the dogs on this one, but until then it's
best to follow the rules.
   If honey is in comb that has never had brood in it, then it's great.
However, if there's been brood in it, there's that silk cocoon from each
larvae that's pupated.  Terminally chewy, and not very appealing to most.
   I'm assuming this isn't your first mite treatment. You've been
monitoring with alcohol or a sugar shake?  What were your numbers? What
else have you treated with this year that might still be in the honey or
wax?
Cheers,
