I don't know of a book on the Jenter queen rearing method, but I wrote an
article on it that appeared in Bee Culture magazine, in the January 1991 issue.
 
  The main advantage of the Jenter queen is that the novice can avoid
grafting larvae.  Anyone raising more than one or two hundred queens each
season will probably want to learn to graft, but the Jenter kit can make
novice beekeepers into successful queen-producers in a quick step.  I think
it's good for that purpose.
