I was putting cages on two bars (27 cells) and I had one bar in my hand as I was replacing it into the frame. As I was trying to fit it back into the frame the frame started tipping over. I caught it but it took a bit of a jostle. I'm not worried about the one that was in my hand because it didn't take much of a jostle but the other bars did take some. There are two bars that are 10 days post graft and one bar that is just capped maybe Friday.
Should I be worried?
Thanks
No, not to worry, they will be ok. It's true you should be easy with the cells, but they will take more than you think at 10 days after grafting and a lot at 2 days.
Thanks for this input.
Today I was going to finish putting together the 3 frame mating nuc (3x3-10 frame deeps) but it started raining just as I got the tools out and has not stopped. I am very glad I put the cages over these cells and didn't procrastinate as I normally do.
Hey, why put off until tomorrow what you can put off until the day after tomorrow?
