Hallo Lewis,
 
let me give you an answer to your question according the JENTER-system.
I'm a bee breeder of Carniolan bees in Germany and I'm using a similar
equipment for breeding my queens. It is named NICOT-system a little
cheaper.
 
In my opinion it's all right with both systems according offering some
advantages and little disadvantages.
 
1. It is a very simple equipment you can easily use for rearing queens.
Bees don't mind that it is artificial plastic material.
 
2. Prices for this product are relatively low. You save time because you
don't have to make your own queen cells.
 
3. If you use the cell-box in which you can lock up the breeding queen
you are spared to put the larvas from worker cells to the queen cells.
This may be a little difficult for elder people whose eyesight is not so
good.
 
4. If you take care of the time and don't want to rear up to many queens
it is very easy to cage the queen cells with the protection cages and
let them hatch in the bee-colony where you are rearing queen cells.
 
If you try any of the systems please inform me about your experience.
 
 
Yours sincerely
