Directions for use:
Remove the frame containing the queen from the hive and place it in an easy and secure position.
Unscrew the cap from the bottle (the cap comes with the brush) and mark the queen.
Using a marking cage on a frame, gently trap the queen on the honeycomb or any other cage model.
Important: Do not apply too much pressure to avoid damaging the queen.
Once the queen is immobilized, touch her thorax with the top of the cap applicator. This will leave a clear stain of the chosen color that will dry quickly. Periodically check the fluidity of the enamel in the bottles and, if necessary ,

add a few drops of nitrocellulose or acetone-based solvent, or place in a hot water bath.

Isobutyl acetate (10-30%); Ethyl acetate (10-20%); N-butyl acetate (5-9%); Nitrocellulose (Nitrogen <12.6%); Acetone (5-9%); Butoxyethanol (1-5%); Xylene (1-5%); 2-Propanol (1-5%); Butyl alcohol (1-3%); Ethylbenzene (0-0.5%); Methyl methoxyethyl acetate (0-0.5%); Methylethylhexanoin (0-0.5%)

Note: To gain experience and practice in queen marking, you can always practice with some drones before marking a queen for the first time, since the queen is very valuable, the drone not so much.
