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, Kelley Rosenlund Gainesville, Fla. U.S.A.
