I set up a hive using the cloake board method and let the polish the plastic cells overnight.
Today I grafted 76 larva using the wet graft method.
Next Wednesday I plan to graft another 76.

Perry,
This is well worth the bucks. I'll be happy to pick one up and send it to you if the shipping from them is silly. Just have to get your head at the right distance from the frame. Tim

I use basically the same thing, magnification goggles.
Except I hold a flashlight with my left hand and graft with my right.
Seems awkward but after a while you get a routine going.
Hey what ever works.

I use these and they are great.
It has 4 different lenses you can swap out to fit your vision. Very comfortable. Light is very bright and you can aim it right down in the cell.
