Anyone tried saliva for priming the cups?  I've used saliva as a viscous
medium to mount termite gut protozoa for viewing with a microscope, but =
I
haven't tried it for other protozoa.  I suppose to get an answer with
respect to the bee larvae, I should "ask the larvae" but I thought I see
what others have done to prime cups for grafting.
 
We don't prime the cups when we graft.  However, speaking of saliva, I =
graft with a fine brush and I do lick the brush alot just to staighten =
out the hairs.  We've been quite successful with our queen rearing and =
so I can say that the small amount of saliva that comes off the brush, =
doesn't hurt a thing.
 
We are having very cool weather here in northeast Alberta.  I made up =
cell builders in the snow on Monday and grafted Tuesday with a high =
temp. of +4 degrees celcius.  In spite of the cold, the cells are =
developing normally.  By the way, we insulate our cell builders and =
queen mothers.
