Scot, Keith and all:
small cell worker bees will open the cell, and kill the
mites (and the bee pupae as a result). 

Reply:
Since both of you touched on this........let me say the
small cell worker bees will open the cell, remove and kill
the mites and save what bee pupae they can. This has been
gone over and written in description in ABJ even for others
to read "as chewing out varroa scenario and what to look
for".
