Best acceptance rate so far

[rookie2531]

So, this is my 4th time and best percentage so far. And from now on, after a day like yesterday, the cages will be used.

What problems were you having with acceptance rates of cells?

[rookie2531]

13 out of 15 was my best percentage capped. The other 3 times just wasn't as good, maybe some of the first grafts were touched or too dry. But I did get more than 50% on my first one.

I was upset on my third one because I didn't use the cages and a queen emerged earlier than expected and she killed a few. But even that one, I got to it before she killed them all.

Ok, I transfer mine on day 12 into nucs I made 2 days before.

Thanks for the pisc.   I have 'Raise Queens' on my bucket list and I've heard about the cages, but now that I see them, I understand.

I use the Nicot setup to raise Queens.
Every piece fits perfectly.
