Queen Marking Pens and Bee Family Car Stickers

The Best Queen Marking Pens: Professional POSCA Medium Tip Markers from Japan. All 5 standard colors for Beekeepers – Green, Blue, Yellow, White and Red. This model (PC5M) is the correct size for marking queen honey bees.

High quality enamel marking pens designed specifically for beekeepers include all 5 essential colors. It is a standard practice for beekeepers to mark the queen with a small spot of paint on her thorax (back). The color code indicates the year in which the queen was introduced to the colony:

• Years ending in 1 or 6 – White
• Years ending in 2 or 7 – Yellow
• Years ending in 3 or 8 – Red
• Years ending in 4 or 9 – Green
• Years ending in 5 or 0 – Blue

Directions: The marking pens must be primed before use. To prime a marking pen, simply press the tip of the pen down on a nearby surface (scrap paper or cardboard) to get the tip wet. Then daub the tip on a test surface to see how much paint will be applied. Next, simply put the queen in a marking tube or cage and apply a small drop to her back (thorax). Give a few minutes to dry, and introduce the queen back to the colony. Caution: DO NOT apply too much paint on the queen bee – you may drown her.
