Queen Marking Paint - bottle

Queen marking paint – in bottle

Fast-drying paint for marking queen bees. You don't need to worry about smudging or dripping. Besides queens, it can be used to mark other materials as well. Don't forget to select the appropriate color for the respective calendar year.

A queen bee can be marked with a small drop of paint on the thorax so that the beekeeper can find her more easily among other bees in the colony and determine the queen's age. The international system uses five colors in sequence: white, yellow, red, green, blue.

The queen marking paint comes in a glass bottle with an application brush. Each color is designated for a specific calendar year. Special fast-drying paints are used for marking queens. In addition to the paint, numbered opalith tags in corresponding colors can also be applied to the thorax, which have printed numbers to distinguish individual queens.
