Acetic acid
Does anybody know if I can treat brood combs with acetic acid in a polystyrene hive? Will the hive be damaged? I've only used wooden hives before.

Yes, not a problem. It's metalwork that suffers, but poly hives (Abelo and Swienty) are apparently untouched.

Thanks Fatshark - using my poly hives for acetic acid treatment will make things a bit easier for me.

Remember that acetic acid stains concrete, paving or stone slabs.
I found out the hard way

Oh! Thanks, Fatshark. Good to know - but I'm sure the bees won't mind.

Another acetic acid question: I have a vague feeling I read somewhere that acetic acid is not that effective in cold weather. Does anybody know if that is true?
