Directions
The marking pens must be primed before use. To prime a marking pen, simply press the tip of the pen down on a nearby surface (scrap paper or cardboard) to get the tip wet. Then daub the tip on a test surface to see how much paint will be applied. Next, simply put the queen in a marking tube or cage and apply a small drop to her back (thorax). Give a few minutes to dry, and introduce the queen back to the colony.
Caution: DO NOT apply too much paint on the queen bee ? you may drown her.
