I haven't used cupkit but those who have used cupkit and have done grafting usually reckon grafting is far quicker and far less hassle.
We had a grafting session on monday evening and some who tried could not even see the small larvae so it is maybe horses for courses.
I can graft 20 larvae in 10 minutes, no queens to catch and cage or anything like that.
It is something which gets better with practice. last year I was having 10/20 started on average and this year it is more like 18/20.
The critical thing is the state of the colony the grafts go into. If the colony is wrong it will not start cells irrespective of whether they began as cupkit, or larvae on the end of a paintbrush.
