Queen Marking System | EZB Queen Pen - SPECIAL ORDER ONLY
The Queen Pen marking tool allows you to transfer your queen easily from her cage to a marking plunger for precise marking, and then back to her cage - all without the need for direct handling.
Instructions:
- Place the marking cage in Queen Pen with the gate open and the plunger back.
- Remove the plug or the cap from the queen cage and quickly place it properly in the Queen Pen.
- Allow the queen bee to walk into the marking cage. It may help to rotate the Queen Pen.
- Once the queen bee is inside the marking cage, shut the gate.
- Now you can remove the marking cage and mark your queen. Allow paint to dry.
- Make sure the queen cage is still in place, and then place the marking cage back in the Queen Pen.
- Open the gate and allow the queen bee to crawl back into the queen cage. You can move the plunger to limit the amount of free space available to the queen bee, thereby coaxing her toward the tunnel.
- Once the queen bee is back in the queen cage, remove the queen cage from the Queen Pen and quickly close the cap or insert the plug.
- Now your marked queen is ready for introduction to the colony.
Features:
Accommodates several common queen cages and marking cages.
