Small spots of enamel paint are now the preferred way to mark a queen. At hobby stores, paint pencils are available with a paint-loaded tip that greatly eases the marking process. Small bottles of model-maker’s enamel paint, as well as fingernail polish, can be used as queen-marking paints. The problem with all of these above is that quite a few minutes are required for the paint to dry. Only a tiny mark should be applied directly on the queen’s thorax and not on the top of her head or smeared on her wings and abdomen. Marking drones is an easy way to practice this procedure. Lightly applying the mark in a circular fashion, rather than applying a dollop of paint, provides a thinner coat that dries quicker.

Happily, queens rarely sting when being held for marking so that threat should be reduced.
