Yesturday was a good and fun learning day, I went to Donald Kuchenmeister (FatBeeman), he show me and a couple more guys alot, We watched him make SC foundation, we made wax queen cell cups, waxed the cups on cell bars, primed the cells with royal jelly, grafted larva to the cells, built a queens cell starter hive, watched him mark a queen, asked alot of questions!!!!!! it was a good day, going again next saturday, I felt like a kid on a field trip  :wink:  :D
