Today i made my first graft as a part of a really small scale queen rearing of a few cells in order to replace some old queens.
I need some feedback:
1. What is the time required after removing the queen to place the queen cells.
2. What is the time required to see bees making their own queen cells. I did not see a try to make them after 24 hours although there was larvae of all ages.
3. Is it required to place inside the hive for 1 day the wax made empty cells in order to be prepared ?
4. After a few minutes of placing the queen cells frame, a few cells attracted many bees and other not. Is this a sign of which cells will be accepted or they just "preparing" the wax.
