Just got my Ezi-queen system and I'm a little confused. It has these little black "pins" that push into the back of the laying cells. It is the only thing that's removed from the laying cells when transfering to the cell-builder bars. These pins only have a tiny shallow depression on their face. The video doesn't elaborate when to transfer these to the bars.
From what I'm learning, the builders accept their job better if the eggs have hatched. But these little pins don't seem to have enough space for holding both larvae and royal jelly. They are tiny with tiny depressions.
Anyone using this system to tell me that I'm concerned for no reason?
Also, the pins are supposed to be replaced each and every time. That seems wasteful to me. They are attached to little bars for easier manipulation. But must be broken off when transfered to the builder-bar so they can be spaced out. Anyone have a way to reuse these without spending lots of time in the manipulation?
I'm beginning to wonder if the Nicot system, as Jon's discribed it, isn't better for me as the laying cups are deeper as I understand him. And they can be reused, I think
