This is how I used a drone frame to try to trap mites in drone cells. The special green drone frame makes the workers draw out drone size cells for the queen to lay into... then the mites reproduce in the larger cells and the goal is to dispose of them all at once.
This is my first time using a drone frame. I recommend opening up several more drone cells to get a more accurate count of mites on the frame.
These frames are available at your favorite beekeeping supply store for $3 - $4.
