在没有工蜂巢的蜂群中研究了瓦螨侵入蜜蜂雄蜂巢细胞的情况。螨虫入侵的概率取决于蜂巢/蜜蜂比率，该比率定义为每公斤蜜蜂的雄蜂巢细胞数量。与仅入侵工细胞的群体相比，瓦螨入侵雄蜂细胞的频率高出 11.6 倍。这表明，在具有两种类型的巢细胞的群体中，螨虫在雄蜂和工蜂细胞上的偏向分布主要是由于与工蜂细胞本身相比，雄蜂细胞本身的入侵率更高。由于雄蜂细胞的入侵率很高，因此使用雄蜂蜂巢的诱捕方法可能对控制瓦螨非常有效。当没有其他巢穴存在时，估计 462 个雄蜂巢室足以捕获 1 公斤蜜蜂群体中 95% 的螨虫。
Invasion of Varroa mites into drone brood cells of honey bees was studied in colonies without worker brood. The probability for a mite to invade was dependent on the brood/bees ratio, which is defined as the number of drone brood cells capped per kg of bees. When compared with invasion in colonies with exclusively worker cells, Varroa mites invaded drone cells 11.6 times more frequently. This suggests that the biased distribution of mites over drone and worker cells in colonies with both types of brood cells results predominantly from the higher rate of invasion into a drone cell per se, when compared to that into a worker cell per se. Since the rate of invasion is high in drone cells, a trapping method using drone combs may be very effective in controlling the Varroa mite. When no other brood is present, 462 drone cells are estimated to be sufficient to trap 95% of the mites in a colony of 1 kg of bees.
