Professional tube for queen marking - yellow

Professional Plunger Queen Marking Tube Holtermann

Practical plunger marking tube for queen bees, favored by both experienced breeders and professional beekeepers. Thanks to its sturdy construction made of quality plastic, it is easy and safe to work with. The pointed opening has a single viewing window in which the queen is well and stably fixed for precise marking. The plunger is finished with a soft foam sponge. This is a product of the German company H. Holtermann.

Gentle Marking Without Unnecessary Stress

Queen marking is one of the basics of clear and efficient colony management, but maximum care is needed during handling. This marking tube is designed to make the work safe and comfortable at the same time. The foam on the plunger gently presses the queen against the viewing window, holding her securely without risk of injury. You gain a steadier hand, better control over the queen's movement, and more precise application of paint or numbered disc. After brief drying, the queen can be returned to the hive without complications.

Faster Colony Inspection and Better Orientation

You will find a marked queen on the comb much more easily, which speeds up regular inspections, work with nucs, and brood monitoring. Shorter hive opening time also means less stress for the colony and better temperature regime in the brood chamber. The single viewing window construction helps guide the mark precisely onto the queen's thorax and minimizes the risk of contaminating the wings or head. For the best overview, we recommend following the international color code for queen marking (white, yellow, red, green, blue according to year).
