In my reading. I don't recall having come across much mention of
drones and tracheal mites -- although maybe I just wasn't paying
attention.
A recent article in ABJ mentioned the preferred host being a worker
four days old or less, I believe.
What is the frequency of drones having tracheal mites? Anyone?
