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?

I have the same vague feeling Kitta, so I have probably read it somewhere. I guess it won't evaporate very quickly when cold. It has to be said that I haven't used the stuff for some years; I have a freezer that can take 1/2 dozen supers at at time so I freeze them before storage although occasionally the odd moth seems to get in.

Thanks Adam. Your guess about evaporation sounds feasible. If so, I guess I should just keep the frames wrapped up for longer. Fingers crossed.

Where do people get their acetic acid these days ?
