Is the weather too mild at the moment to consider oxalic acid treatment

[Bumbling Keeper]

Suggesting that they may be high would be a more accurate statement

...sorry I wasn't specific enough. It was just a quick observation - checked mine yesterday in 13C.

I was going to trickle OA today but its going to be 12 C !
Is it too mild at the moment for OA? ...

The temperature at the moment is not what you really should be looking at. It's the low temperature some time ago, when the queen stopped laying. Count backwards

So, after much deliberation and advice from bee gurus on this forum. Yesterday I trickled my two hives.
You may recall… my base boards were showing a high count of VM (60+ Each). The advice was not to wait and get trickling.
Prior to going ahead, I checked the boards again. Not as many VM and no brood cappings to speak of. So ahead I went.
Surely, the emphasis should be on the state of brood for best results and not temps?
