Artificial swarm and treatment with OA sublimation

[sussexbaker]

Hi all

I carried out an artificial swarm at the weekend and I was wondering about treating with OA once all of the brood in the 'old' box (ie the one containing the queen cell) has emerged. I know a few people here carry out OA sublimation treatments outside of the 'traditional' winter window, and I wondered if that included post-AS treatments? Does it have any impact if there's a virgin queen in the hive?

Thanks

I did it on day 28. Bit nervous on day 35 as her "insurance" sister hAd pretty well laid up a nuc. 4 day old larvae on day 42. Not sure yet but no obviously disastrous effect.
