Queen Plunger (for marking)

Plungers are used to hold the queen honey bee for marking with a marking pen.

Plungers are used to keep the queen bee from being able to move or run away from the beekeeper while trying to mark the queen with the colour for the year she was born or emerged. 

Colours work that they change with the last number of any year being different.

Use queen clip it keeps the queen bee inside for as long as you need her to remain in your control and in your hands for example.

Useful for:

• marking queen bees and then finding the queen bee afterwards 
• telling which year a queen bee was born or emerged
• seeing how old  your queen bee is at a glance

The queen clip holds the queen in a secure space while you need to have full access to her.

Works well with queen clip and queen marking pen to help make your queen bee easier to identify when doing hive inspections.
