Ok, learning how to scope, take pictures thur stereo microscope and edit.  I will try to improve, beginner here.  Thanks for your patience,  Van

The correct size larva for grafting is shown with red lettering.  Compare to the size of the cell for reference,  I can impose a millimeter scale, I think, if you suggest that would help.  There are actually 4 larva, grafting size in the pic.
I have been around bees a long time, since birth.  I am a hobbyist so my answers often reflect this fact.  I concentrate on genetics, raise my own queens by wet graft, nicot, with natural or II breeding.  I do not sell queens, I will give queens  for free but no shipping.

Nice picture!
I describe as:   If the larvae is arc (  graft it.  If the larvae is a C, it is too old pick a different one.
When the lid goes back on, the bees will spend the next 3 days undoing most of what the beekeeper just did to them.

Amazing picture, Van!
I come from under the hill, and under the hills and over the hills my paths led.  And through the air, I am she that walks unseen.
