>>> results during the" broodless" tests they ran and got well over 90%.. 
If brood are present all bets are off.    .     .    . <><><>  Here in Lower Alabama we rarely go broodless.  At a state meeting several years ago Jennifer Berry was discussing this and suggested caging the queen within the colony for two weeks and then releasing her again into the open colony.  One week after releasing her you would do your OAV application.  There would bee open brood in the colony but no capped brood, thus replicating for the most part a broodless colony.
