[QUOTE="tristan, post: 13076, member: 30"] [URL unfurl="true"]https://nzbees.net/threads/oa-strips-during-honeyflow.1107/[/URL] [USER=608]@DaveBee[/USER] [USER=13]@Alastair[/USER] i'll put an answer here because it ties in with this thread. dave you might be getting mixed with OA vapor which works a lot better in winter when a hive is brood less. the latest legality i'm not sure of, [USER=63]@Dennis Crowley[/USER] might have an answer to that. originally OA had a pass and by mem it was ok for use with in honey flows. they gave most organic acids a free pass, with exception of thymol and its obvious smell/taste getting into honey. the one really good thing with OA is the ability to use with honey flows. glycerin is an interesting one, but then again its also food grade. its no known to cause problems. i think OA/glycerin now has its own exemption anyway. the only illegal and grey area stuff is people making the strips and selling them. or doing the "80%" strips (we do 80% of the work but you do the last 20% therefore you made it not us). the exemption is for own use, not for making and selling. btw Vita is now commercially making staples and is applying around the world to sell them. i expect to see them on the shelf sometime in the future.
