Hi was wondering if any of the queen breeders have noticed ill effects on breeder queens after using oxalic acid or point me in the direction of information about this.

There have been a few threads about this. Some hold to the view that repeated tretments harm queens, but otehrs disagree. Finman in particular is adamant that this is not the case, and quotes a number of sources to support his view- you could try searching his posts.

Tricklin has been used over 10 years. There is no sign that it hurts the queen.

It was not long time ago when OA was agaist English law

in ex Soviet Union you went to prison when you told a sosialist joke. Trutshow released 20.000 joke tellers from prisons.

Driving against red lights is not so bad in UK as using oxalic acid. think about it!
