POSCA Queen Marking Pen

A queen you can spot in two seconds saves real time during inspections. This POSCA pen uses bright, paint-based ink to mark her thorax quickly and cleanly, following the standard international color-coding system so you can track her age at a glance.

Key Features

• Bright, highly visible ink makes the queen easy to spot in the hive
• Fine, controlled tip for precise marking on the thorax
• Quick-drying paint reduces smudging
• Long-lasting color stays visible through the season
• Available in standard international queen marking colors

Why Color-Code

The standard marking colors rotate on a 5-year cycle, so the dot color tells you the queen's year at a glance without checking records. Pair this pen with a queen catcher or marking tube to hold her still while you mark her.
