  Of course, I meant Oxalic could be used effectively to 5 degrees above 
zero C, not F.

Bill Said:
The key with OA is to treat when the colony is broodless or nearly so, 
which means November here in Maine.

True, but Oxalic can also be vaporized. Multiple treatments don't damage 
the bees as with trickle. So, I suppose you could vaporize before the 
broodless period, with the final treatment in mid-November.
	
Komppa-Seppälä, from Finland, spoke of this last year, on this list. 
Multiple vapor treatments in the fall, with the last at broodless period.
