πI had a little extra time yesterday to practice some grafting. I say practice because I don't really have any expectations of the outcome. I'll be happy if one queen cell takes. I will continue to practice until I'm successful.
β€οΈThe goal is to take a 2-3 day old larvae and put it in the little orange cups. These cups will go into a queenless hive. The bees will form queen cells from these little cups.
βοΈThis will be cost efficient and I will be able to requeen or replace queens as needed. In time working on great and gentle genetics. ππ
