Application of paint for marking queen bees in the form of a large marker:
Mother's paint must first be shaken thoroughly. The ball inside the marker must rattle! Then the tip of the marker is pressed against the paper, which soaks the tip with paint. With the help of the catch, it is necessary to catch the mother bee so that her chest is accessible and the mother is motionless. The tip of the marker should be lightly pressed against the mother's chest, taking care not to get the mother dirty. Then it is necessary to wait a while and finally release the marked mother into the hive.
