How old can larva be before it is to late for them to be turned in to queens. I've read 3 days. If this is so what are the distinguishing characteristics of 3 day old larva? Size, appearance, etc..
Are you grafting eggs, or just adding comb with eggs?You want eggs, not larva. If you want the bees to make a queen, give them an egg to work with.
Get some jeweler's glasses. You'll be amazed how well you can see a 12 hr old larva.but by the time my bad eyes can see a definite larva, it is too old to use to make a queen.
