Queen Marking Cage for Beekeeping - Essential Beekeeping Equipment for Hive Management and Queen Bee Identification | Perfect for Backyard Beekeepers and Apiaries

This is a wonderful alternative to the queen marking cup.  When you find the queen, just place the cage over her (along with some attendants), lightly pushing the cge into the comb. Then mark her while she is trapped in the cage.  The beauty of this approach is that it is a one handed operation.
