There are vaporizers for sale on the net and also some home grown DIY
contraptions of pipes and such. If I were a large operation,  I would
definitely go the vaporizer route, in spite of its additional hazards
(dealing with a corrosive vapor). But a hobby beekeeper can get by just
fine with the drip method. All I have seen shows the same effectiveness
for both methods.
