I suspect that the vast majority of people will use the trickling method.

Vapourising OA crystals is not without some small increase in risk to the bee keeper, who might eventually manage to breath in the vapour.

Current personal experience of OA treatments is NIL though.

I use the trickling method, using a largish plastic syringe.

I'll let you know when I will be doing it if you want to visit?
