The advantage of Zachary's method is there is no need to open the hive and
remove the frames with the drone brood.  The electrical current is applied
via external posts on the outside of the hive.  The dead brood, as with
brood killed by freezing, is left to the bees to remove.

I am not defending the method, just adding my  thoughts.
