The grafter, who has to be approved by AQIS (Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service), is allowed into a room where the frame of brood, from which the larvae are grafted, is brought to them. They are allowed to graft, under supervision. Only the cell cups with the larvae are allowed off the premise. At no time is the grafter allowed into the flight cage holding the nucleus colonies.
