On the subject of mite control, I understand the drone cells attract the
mites & I assume consequently the drones have a higher infestation of mites
than the workers. I was reading in The hive & the Honey bee of using
synthetic queen phernomes to attract drones for research.
 
Could phernomes be used to attract drones, destroy them and the mites?
 
How effective would this be?
God Bless,
