I was wondering if anyone has used this queen system from better bee. I do not have a steady hand for grafting and was wondering if it works or if it is a waste of money.

click queens and scroll down to the part about queen cells
thanks for clearing that up.
There are several similar systems. They work fine if you do standard queen rearing practices otherwise. You still need a crowded cell builder. You still need all the usual tweaks to make queen rearing work. You just don't have to graft.
thanks michael for commenting, its the grafting that I will have a hard time with i think, but we will see im going to give grafting a try before I get the system
