Queen Marking Cage

This plunger style marking cage is easy to use and effective. Simply place the queen in the tube and gently press in the plunger. This will push the queen’s thorax agains the plastic screen, making it easy to mark her with a marking pen. Marked queens are easy to spot during inspection, making them less likely to be injured or lost. Also works well to contain your queen so no other bees can get to her.

*Pro tip – Be careful not to push too hard or you can damage your queen and the bees will replace her with a new one.
