Where can royal jelly for grafting purposes be bought.

This is the kind I have used with good resultshttp://www.vitacost.com/Imperial-Eli...sh-Royal-Jelly but I'm not sure where I bought it from, so use your best judgement for internet purchases, as always.

If you insist on using it, it's best to collect your own. I did for a while but I prefer not to use it. The chinese grafting tool picks up the royal jelly that is in the cup and that seems to work as well if not better.

His later writings saying he quit doing it:

"We used to prime our cells with bee milk but, after careful examination, believe it was a detriment, for the first thing the bees do is to remove all the milk we had put in. Grafting in bare cells is better-or rather not so bad."--Jay Smith
