The Beekeepers Queen Marking Pen Set, model BKSET, is a product designed specifically for beekeepers in the United States. This set includes marking pens that are essential for identifying and tracking the queens in bee colonies. The high-quality marking pens are made in the United States, ensuring reliability and durability for beekeepers to efficiently manage their hives. Perfect for professionals or hobbyists, this set provides the tools needed to effectively mark and monitor queen bees within your beekeeping operations. These colors last a longtime without being removed by the Queens workers unlike the Poska pens that might last a few months if that!

Works great with a marking cage of your choice. Standard Color Schedule: White is for years ending in 1 or 6. Yellow is for years ending in 2 or 7. Red is for years ending in 3 or 8. Green is for years ending in 4 or 9.

THIS PACKAGE IS A MUST-HAVE FOR ALL BEEKEEPERS! Our package includes a Non-Toxic 21 Year UV Resistance Xylene Free Beekeeper Medium tip Marking Pen for the year 2024 in an easy to see Light Green colored pen and our One Handed Queen Catcher Cage. Whether you're a seasoned beekeeper or just starting out, this set is perfect for you. This pen makes it so much easier to mark your queen for identification. (see our picture of the color chart used for each year) The Queen Cage allows for safe transportation of the queen bee during hive inspections or relocations and marking for easily locating her. Use one hand (with gloves on or off) to push her into the cage and the other hand to slide the flexible screen over her and slide the foam insert up to position her against the screen to place a dot of this years color on her thorax. (Year 2024-Green) As soon as she is marked slide the foam down so the paint has at least a minute to dry then slide the screen back and let her go on top of the frames. All worker bees can pass through the screen except the queen until you release her. Perfect for all Backyard Beekeepers who need to keep track of their queens. These colors do not fade and will stay on your queens for at least a year or more without being removed by the queens attendants. (If you have marked queens before like we have with other pens you know the color is removed within a month or two by the worker bees and what a pain in the butt that is having to remark all the time!!) NOTICE: Pen will release its color for first time use by pushing down repeatedly on the tip to get the color to flow down to the tip. Certified non toxic per ASTM 4236Does not contain Butyl acetate or 1, 2, 4 TrimethylbenzeneNAFTA certified tariff free10 ml's of high-quality paintReplaceable fiber nibs21 year colorUV resistant and waterproofBee-friendly and safe for Apiary use Thanks for your Business and remember to buy your Raw Honey from a beekeeper and not from a big box store.  Please visit our other listings – Sunshine Apiaries and Florida Honey Farm WE SHIP TO THE USA ONLY!!
