Was not even close. Am treatment had as much vapor out of the entrance even
with some entrance plugging while daytime treatment vapor stayed inside the
hive with no additional plugging and showed high up on the hive body where
there were cracks.

So I would not bother to get up early to treat with OAV since it appears to
have less coverage of bees and surfaces than when it is warm. Plus it is
much safer.
