Drat another poorly typed reply on my part.
Towards Peters post, he stated it was not genetic. Understanding the theory of the pheromones, what I didn't think we know is that principle? Is that a genetic trait? Or just a habit? How are mites dispositioned to smell drones over workers. If in fact that’s a genetic trait, then drone removal would down the line favor resistance wouldn't it??
