You don’t add the cups to the builder the day before for cleaning and polishing like others do. Have you tried this? Your take seems too be high but might it be higher if you did?
"The cups don't need to be polished by the bees. Graft right into new cups and place them in your cell builder. I set up about 50 cell builders during the season, each with 48 grafts, and average 46 ripe cells, and often get 48"- Michael Palmer Most of the "big" guys use them right out of the bag, so that's what I have done.. I tried it once and didn't see a difference my feeling is polishing is a hold over from the days of wax cups
