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?
