 Earle said,

Interesting thought - OA in the heamolymph suggests that we could feed
 bees OA solution - has anyone investigated or tried this ?
Answer;
Researchers has investigated the use of OA, the only effective methods of
application against varroa were trickling or evaporation. Keep in mind
adding OA to sugar syrup would convert sugar into HMH. HMF is toxic to
bees.
