        I agree with what you are doing, but I would suggest perhaps you
would get even better results in the quantity of Varroa trapped if the frame
was in the centre of the brood rather than on the outside. The idea of using
a trap, is to force the queen to lay drone brood at a time of year i.e.
early or late season, when she would not normally be laying drone brood.
