Queen Marking Tube QR-1A

Description

The Queen Marking Tube QR-1A is a specialized beekeeping tool designed to safely and efficiently mark queen bees for identification and tracking. Constructed from clear, durable plastic, it allows beekeepers to easily observe the queen during the marking process. The tube features a soft foam plunger that gently secures the queen against a perforated mesh screen, immobilizing her without causing harm. This immobilization facilitates the application of a small dot of paint on the queen’s thorax using a marking pen, making her more visible during hive inspections. The QR-1 model is lightweight, easy to handle, and compatible with standard queen marking pens, making it an essential tool for both novice and experienced beekeepers.
