Great video. Thanks for posting. Have found that cutting a small section of comb with eggs then carefully putting into a similar sized hole in a queenless nuc will definitely result in emergency cells, of course a bit of a gamble with mating flight etc and no guarantee if good genetics, but worth a try! Good luck and keep us updated.😊
The idea is good but from the plugs I have seen you can buy you have to leave the wax/larvae in it and attach the plug to a top bar so it hangs down, and you have to go from the reverse side. Trying grafting for first time soon and going to video my attempts now I have a tripod, so if It goes well and I have excess zI could be looking to pass these on.
It didn’t work this time but I think if the wax was harder I may have had more success. It was only a try out to see what would happen. Hopefully you have better results than I did. Are you grafting your carni B or a different queen?
@@DraigwenHoney Carni B was not laying last week but might try half from her and half from a queen I raised last year as her laying pattern, colony temperament etc are looking to be my best option
Learn from your f**k ups man loving the videos keep it up
Nice one man. I’m slowly getting better at production

Thanks butty. I didn’t work this time but the principle is sound I think. I’ll try it again with harder wax next year maybe.

This method looks cost effective and more likely to work czcams.com/video/vLRbCQ3LYgY/video.htmlsi=CvLFOcdH7bYTDzaE

That looks much better and just as cheap
