My first attempt at grafting...

I grafted 15 cells and only one of them took.  It's difficult to tell just how big it is from the picture, but I measured it.  From the bottom of the cell bar to the tip is just over 1.5"

I made up a mating nuc (queenless of course) and put it in there this past Tuesday.  Day 10 from grafting was this past Wednesday.

Also, I've read a few books and listened to many different ways to make queens and I decided to follow this procedure:
