Apparently when oxalic is vaporized, roughly two thirds to one half turns
to water and CO2 and the balance precipitates in oxalic crystals throughout
the hive. About 1% of the oxalic also turns to formic acid, if I
understand the Mellifera e.V., Vereinigung für wesensgemässe Bienenhaltung
work correctly.
