This is a method to control the varroa mite by making the colony brood less during the productive season. This is done by caging the queen for 25 days allowing all brood to emerge and thus preventing the queen from laying new eggs during this period. When the colony consists of only adult bees you can treat the colony with either lactic acid or oxalic acid.
