Queen colors
iddee:
I don't. I have to laugh when a new beek says they are going to keep naturally,then mark and clip the queens. Doesn't seem all that natural to me.
beepro:
Nice color!
I keep the Cordovan queens and have the daughters mated with the local carnis drones.
This way I can spot the queen faster. Imagine one yellow queen standing out when other bees are darker on the
frame. Spotting the queen is easy.
BeeMaster2:
I used to just use white, stands out and is easy to see.

iddee:
Like I said,Texan, I don't mark'em. They are all the same in my hives. :tongue: :cheesy:
