Does honey harvested using crush and strain after using Oxalic Acid Vaporizer have a discernible taste? Is there a way of applying OAV so that its effect is minimized? (isolate bars of comb honey with a follower board?)

You should never treat your hives with anything while the honey supers are on. At a minimum with OAV, you should pull the supers off, do the treatment and after it clears, replace the supers.

Jim is correct. Pull supers, treat, replace supers. Nice & neat with no problems. :grin:
Looks to me like the question related to top bar hives, in which case there are no supers, but the same principle would apply -- remove honey combs into temporary storage, treat and return the top bars with honey to the hive. Just get the honey away from the area being treated.
Thanks to all. Will do.
