Cell raising

I have been cell raising again here you can see the larva in the base of the artificial cell cup, these are then placed in a queenless colony to be drawn out.


These are the cells I grafted two days ago. Most of the cells have been accepted you can see the wax extending the plastic cell. The cell second from the left has been rejected as have a couple in the centre of the bar.

These are being finished in a queen right colony above a queen excluder. They will be ready for use from Saturday to Wednesday.
