Firmly but gently.

what do i just push the wax onto the wax or do i use something else to hold it

 

[Poly Hive]

Wax to wax + very gently.

Or twist some soft wire and make a circle to hold the cell and use the twisted ends to poke into the fame to support it.

attached my first cell yesterday
did not want to stick so cut a slver of wood of a pallet and attatched with that as a peg
not through the cell though

well , we tried this today with a too ripe queen cell

just about to press the Queen cell into the comb only to see the virgin queen pop out and dive between the frames

Better be fast or last....LOL
