A queen you can spot in two seconds saves real time during inspections. This POSCA pen uses bright, paint-based ink to mark her thorax quickly and cleanly, following the standard international color-coding system so you can track her age at a glance.
Key Features
- Bright, highly visible ink makes the queen easy to spot in the hive
- Fine, controlled tip for precise marking on the thorax
- Quick-drying paint reduces smudging
- Long-lasting color stays visible through the season
- Available in standard international queen marking colors
Why Color-Code
The standard marking colors rotate on a 5-year cycle, so the dot color tells you the queen's year at a glance without checking records. Pair this pen with a queen catcher or marking tube to hold her still while you mark her.
