Hello all,
I've been a lurker for four years and have learned much valuable advice 
from the list. My question involves seeing eggs and just hatched larvae. 
I have taken a queen rearing course (last year) and was frustrated that 
I couldn't find the larvae (except by chance) to graft. At home I tried 
grafting by setting up a table with two halogen lamps, and wearing a 
magnifying visor but still was having real difficulty. This year I tried 
the Hopkins method (Case method) of rearing and had the same problem. I 
held the frame up with sun coming over my shoulder but couldn't find any 
larvae. I had seen the queen moving about this frame and watched her 
deposit eggs (I assume) in two cells before I put the frame back. Today 
I took the frame for queen rearing and the only thing I was sure of  was 
that there was a circular pattern of pollen and I just guessed that 
there were eggs in the circle.
I know this seems like I might just have poor eyesight but I was 
wondering if anyone on the list has experienced the same and what some 
methods might be to help me out.
I appreciate any and all advice.

Bryan
