Most queen marking tools require pulling the queen off the comb and into a tube. This one skips that step — place the cage over her directly on the frame, push it gently into the comb, mark her thorax, and release. No removal, no extra handling.
Key Features
- Marks the queen directly on the comb — no need to remove her from the hive
- Simple round cage design presses gently into the comb to hold her in place
- Quick to use in the field compared to tube-style marking cages
- Less handling means less stress on the queen and the colony
How to Use It
Locate the queen on the frame, place the cage over her, and push it gently into the comb until it's secure. Mark her thorax through the cage opening, then lift the cage away and release her back onto the comb.
