Honeybee larvae are very small, making queen grafting a challenge.

A steady hand is needed to graft the small larvae into the queen cups.

 

Newly grafted queen cups are inserted into a builder colony where the queen cells are built.

Here a new rack of queen cups is ready for development. The bees will continue the process by building the long queen cells over the cups.
