Marking the Queen does three things:
1 – Makes it easier to spot her next time
2 – The colour used allows you to determine the age of the queen – see Colour Code Below.
3 – If an unmarked queen is found, then it is likely that the colony has swarmed or the queen superceded.
Marking the Queen:
Find the queen – The difficult bit.
Carefully place a Queen Marker cage over her.
Mark her, through the cage, on her Thorax.
