I agree with Pete--that's why I'm belaboring trying to figure out why
Charlie thinks that the OA dribble killed his colonies.  As Pete points
out, OA dribble in fall has been used in northern Europe for many years
with good results.

application rates and mix.   Its not rocket science.

Charlie, I'm not clear what you are referring to.  Are you saying that
you've previously applied OA dribble in fall with no ill effects?
