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.

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.
