the instructions I got with the jenter were in German, I had them 
interpreted and thats what they said to do, and to put wax on the end of 
the plug.  But thinking about it, the queen has no trouble laying in the 
cells next to the plugs that have no wax, so I guess next year I'll remove 
the wax from the plugs b/4 inserting and see if it changes anything.
