I haven’t either nor any older larva pulled out. I am trying to get a handle on a statement made in a class regarding oxalic acid sublimation (not dribble) killing open brood. Peter B was kind enough to forward some studies. I will check archives, it doesnt seem there is much research on sublimation and open brood mortality. We cant see everything with the naked eye, and if young larva and/or eggs are negatively affected by sublimation the bees would eat them (I think). Deb
