Long Queen Marking Tube

This queen marking tube works like a standard marking tube, with one addition that makes it easier to use in the field: a side opening that lets the queen walk in directly from the frame instead of needing to be picked up first.

Key Features

• Side-entry design — capture the queen directly from the comb, no handling required to get her started into the tube
• Gentle plunger — guides the queen against the soft mesh screen so she stays still for marking
• Transparent tube — lets you see and control the process clearly throughout
• Durable, reusable construction
• Compatible with standard queen marking pens

How to Use It

Let the queen walk into the tube through the side opening, then use the plunger to gently move her against the mesh screen. With her held in place, mark her thorax with a queen marking pen, then release her back onto the frame.
