>>My friend from Germany wants to know why we are still talking about liquid treatments with O/A when it is so easy to sublimate. (vaporize from a powder) with a little heat.


OA dribbling requires no special gear and the hive does not have to be sealed to contain the vapors.  The operator does not risk inhaling the OA vapors either.  I have heard many people have gone from OA sublimation to dribbling.  I imagine dribbling is quicker - I have not seen or tried sublimation.
