I've been doing a bit of grafting this year (and last) with varying degrees of success. I have been trying to come up with a list of variables to try and figure out what things might be causing me to have high failure rates.
1. Bad cups (homemade wax cups) (have some plastic now so probably not the issue)
2. too old of larva (They don't get much smaller than I'm grafting, don't think that's it)
3. mangling the larva moving it. Could be, but all of them?
4. Queenless starter isn't queenless or is too weak or not enough resources.

What am I missing here?
