Chris,

I've also dribbled OA solution with a graduated syringe.  No
problems there.  My interest in spraying stems from the
reports that dribbled OA is sometimes not well tolerated by
the bees.  The sprayed amount of OA solution is roughly half,
compared to dribbling, and it is supposed be better tolerated.

I don't have a lot of hives so the extra labor involved in
spraying is not a big issue.

I'd need a good sprayer though where I could tell when I've
sprayed the 3-5 ml per frame.  I've come across recommendations for sprayer types in Europe but I am looking for a US source.
