[QUOTE="tristan, post: 12255, member: 30"] sorry i forgot to mention that the pad had 210g of mix in it. clearly the total amount of oxalic acid is not an issue but rather the speed at which its applied is. also remember my earlier test had 8 stables per brood box and the only effect was queen moved away and laid in areas where there was no strips. once the acid "cooled" down hive went back to normal. i suspect most of the issues arise from "wet" mix which spreads to fast, causing high dosage in short time, causing effects on bees/brood, causing hive failure. now to make it even more confusing i suspect some are making wet strips work(ish) because i noticed the bees tend to avoid (but not all) the "hot" wet strips which reduces some of the initial spread.
