This article was published recently and it seems like the method described could be useful or may just interrupt broodrearing so much that a colony wouldn't ever be able to thrive after being subjected to it. Who has tried any queen caging method like this before? Did it work for you?

Interesting article, but it mentions letting your brood box become honey bound as a way to pause brood to lessen the mite load. I found that an interesting concept since I do that anyway.
