Queen rearing system

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.

that kit is good--they give more in there kit than others-anther possibility for you
is to drive to kohen they are in glen-cant be that far for you-buy cells for your mating nucs
$4.25 pop them in and you are off to the races-RDY-B

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.
