Dr. Rodriquez said:
    As long as 7 years ago I proposed in my writings that higher varroa
counts in drone cells "was due to logistics," in that feeding bees, the ones
carrying mites on them visit drone cells far more times than they do worker
cells.

I remember you expressing the above hypothesis and the reason varroa is in
drone cells the most could certainly be as simple as Dr. Pedro's hypothesis.
Perhaps we are looking for too complicated a reason?

Sincerely,
Bob Harrison
