Honey Lake Queen Bee Marking Kit Queen Marking Cage with 2 Queen Marker Pen for Beekeeper (Red & White)

Arrived well, fast, and works as intended. Gel pen is a bit runny but that's good in this case. The foam cushion plunger of the marking case is lose, and easily fall out - that's ok, you just have to get used to it.

I've only used it one day but it worked exactly as I had hoped. I've picked up workers and drones but I can't help being nervous about accidentally crushing a queen so this is great for me.Not an issue but an observation, it does take a bit of effort and shaking to get the marker going the first time so it's probably best to get that ready before you catch your queen.

These queen marking cages are great. I don't have any issues with them. The markers however, you need to be careful with. The tips are very hard and to get the color to flow you have to apply a good amount of pressure and then the color just flows right out. The color is like water and FLOWS out fast immediately. My concern here is that if someone is not ready for this they may kill there queen. I expected the tip to be soft like a felt pen but that is not the case with these. They are very hard. Be careful when using these pens.

Works just as it says on the box- I have used this about 6 times In the first week and it’s so easy to use. My only negative comment would be that I had to glue the pad back on.

Pen bleeds when trying to mark queen. Ink gets all over her. Point is too fine for queen marking. Not good quality. Cage does not stay without holding it still. Plunger just falls out and keys queen back out.

Works just fine. Nice to mark the queen, making her much easier to find.

Good value, but it wish the plunger was more snug within the cylinder. Both were loose and would fall out if I let go. It made painting while holding the plunger steady a bit difficult. Also the foam detached from the plunger on one.

Worked the first time I tried to mark our queen. Hard enough to find her as I'm a newbie. Worked great.
