Its 6.4 mm drone-sized cells draw the queen to lay drone brood, which female Varroa mites strongly prefer. Removing and freezing the capped frame interrupts the mites' reproductive cycle without treatments in the hive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Drone comb frame for Varroa management\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e One-piece plastic frame with integrated foundation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCell size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.4 mm drone cells\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating:\u003c\/strong\u003e Double beeswax coating for acceptance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Green, easy to spot during inspections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium and deep options\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBest for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChemical-free Varroa mite control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpring use, when colonies raise abundant drones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeekeepers practicing integrated pest management\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuick identification with the green color\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlace the green frame in the brood nest so the queen lays drone eggs in it.
