I started this as a question about the simplest queen rearing system, then learned for me it will be hopkins method. I am going to try it, but I don't know how to attach a queen cell to the comb once I cut the cell off? any tips?

Usually you just press a hole in the comb with your thumb and push the cell gently into the hole.

I cut out a queen cell with lots of comb around it, skewer 1/2 of a tooth pick through the comb around the queen cell, then wedge the tooth pick between two frames of comb.
