An interesting point; many consider them better alternatives than
synthetics not made in imitation of something natural.
There are some techniques that reduce mite growth - like drone trapping
and brood breaks - but they have consequences and are not 100% effective
on their own. I suspect it will not be too long before a technique is
developed to keep or delay Foundress mites in the dispersal phase out of
Honey bee brood cells. Maybe something like that could work with
Tropilaelaps too.
