No, not stewed rhubarb.
A fellow beek is very wary about oxalic, considering it a prime suspect for colonies he lost last winter.
First question- who agrees with him?
2nd question- is it possible to use icing sugar in winter, as a diagnostic tool? If there are risks with oxalic, it seems worth checking for mites before deciding whether to treat or not.
Cheers
