Queen Marker Cage with Plunger
A safe and gentle method for holding and marking the queen bee during hive inspections or routine maintenance. This tool is designed to make queen marking and examination easier and more controlled, while ensuring the queen remains unharmed throughout the process.
After locating and capturing the queen, simply transfer her carefully into the clear plastic marking tube. Using the soft foam-tipped plunger, gently guide the queen toward the mesh marking cage at the top of the tube. The soft sponge pad cushions her securely, preventing injury or stress while keeping her still for marking.
Once the queen is positioned, apply the correct marking colour for the year to the exposed thorax, ensuring easy identification in future inspections.
This lightweight, easy-to-use marking cage is an essential tool for any beekeeper who regularly manages queens, making the marking process efficient, accurate, and safe.
