Soon within the next 6 weeks I will try grafting.
1. How delicate is the larvae (Don't tell me the girls will be upset loosing their babies) so long as its not squished and killed can it take much abuse. eg dropping it into cell , knocking it off cell wall, dropping it off brush or grafting tool and picking it up again.
2. How long will they survive out of the cell or even in the cell outside the brood box, Ok if I am not in a freezer and they don't dry out.
4. Why must they go down the way they were removed do they not have spiracles on both sides.
5. Do they need royal jelly transferred with them or will the nurse bees sort it out.
