Application
The Queen Marking Tube is an essential tool for beekeepers who need to mark their queen bees for identification and tracking purposes. This device is particularly useful in scenarios where beekeepers need to isolate, observe, or transfer the queen bee. The clear plastic construction of the tube allows for easy visibility, ensuring that the queen is safely and securely handled during the marking process. The bottom of the tube is screened, which facilitates the marking of the queen’s thorax using a POSCA paint pen. This marking is crucial for beekeepers to quickly locate the queen, confirm her presence, and ensure that she has not been replaced. The Queen Marking Tube is also ideal for transferring resources between hives, as it allows for the safe and efficient handling of the queen bee.
Feature
The Queen Marking Tube is designed with several key features that make it a must-have tool for beekeepers:
- Clear Plastic Construction: The tube is made of transparent plastic, allowing beekeepers to easily see the queen bee during the marking process.
- Soft Foam Plunger: The plunger is made of soft foam, which gently herds the queen towards the screen without causing harm.
- Screened Bottom: The bottom of the tube is screened, enabling beekeepers to mark the queen’s thorax with ease.
- Durable Materials: The tube is constructed from high-quality plastic, wood, and sponge, ensuring durability and longevity.
- Compact Size: The tube measures 7.5cm in length and has an inner diameter of 3cm, making it the perfect size for safely handling queen bees.
Principle
The principle behind the Queen Marking Tube is to provide a safe and efficient method for marking queen bees. The process involves gently scooping up the queen and placing her inside the tube. The soft foam plunger is then used to nudge the queen towards the screened bottom of the tube. Once the queen is confined against the screen, her thorax can be marked with a queen marking pen. This marking helps beekeepers to easily identify the queen and track her age and presence in the hive. The color of the mark indicates the year the queen was introduced into the hive, which is essential for maintaining proper hive records and ensuring hive health. The Queen Marking Tube is designed to minimize stress and harm to the queen, making it a humane and effective tool for beekeepers.
Advantage
The Queen Marking Tube offers several advantages that make it an indispensable tool for beekeepers:
- Ease of Identification: Marking the queen bee allows beekeepers to easily identify and track her age and presence in the hive, which is crucial for maintaining hive health and productivity.
- Safe and Humane: The soft foam plunger and screened bottom ensure that the queen is handled gently and safely, minimizing stress and harm.
- Durable and Long-lasting: Made from high-quality materials, the Queen Marking Tube is built to withstand the rigors of beekeeping, ensuring long-term use.
- Compact and Portable: The small size of the tube makes it easy to carry and use in various beekeeping scenarios, whether in the field or in the apiary.
- Versatile Use: The Queen Marking Tube can be used for isolating, observing, and transferring queen bees, making it a versatile tool for beekeepers.
- Non-intrusive: Marking the queen bee does not affect the other bees, the queen’s mating flights, or any other aspect of daily hive life, ensuring that the hive remains healthy and productive.
