Hi All, I did a couple of Demaree's this year and found them to be really effective. I do however have one question. In December when I am vaporising Api-Bioxal, the brood box will get a good hit of the stuff over several applications and hopefully do some good. However, come the Spring/Summer, If I perform a Demaree, then the 'tainted' frames get moved up top and after the allotted time become supers and any honey produced in those frames would surely also be tainted by the treatment. I suppose my question is 'if you vaporise any Oxalic Acid based treatments at the end of the season/year how can you perform a Demaree without tainting what will become the super box on top?' Hope that makes sense. Thanks
