I guess this depends upon the size of the hive you use. I believe that with
single story colonies, dribble would be quicker. But, with multiple story
hives, vaporization would be quicker. The sugar/OA solution must get on
every bee. With multiple story hives, this means taking the hive apart,
treating the bees in each box, and then re-assembling the hive. With a
vaporizer, this doesn't have to be done.
