  • Same as the one selling for 3X as much at the beekeeping supply places
Just used it for the first time. Worked perfectly. I don't know why anyone would pay more for the same one from a different supplier, maybe in a different color. There is a small knob attached to the slide on the side, once you have the queen in, you gently slide it up to push her towards the grates at the top. The grates are the same width as a queen excluder so any workers that you scooped up with her can get out but the queen can not. Pause just before the foam plunger is all the way up, wait until she positions herself parallel to the slots with her thorax exposed between and gently push to the top, trapping her in place. The slider mechanism is built so that if she's between the grates it stops positively so you can't crush her but you have to move slowly anyway and only very gentle movement is required- take off your gloves. Make sure her wings aren't caught. She'll be held with her thorax and part of her abdomen sticking slightly through the slot, now you can easily mark her with paint. I left her in that position for 3-4 minutes so the paint could set, then pulled the plunger back, left the gate closed and set it on top of the frames, immediately a lot of workers went through the slots to join her. Left them a few more minutes to be sure the paint was completely dry and smudge proof, then gently pulled the gate open, set it upside down between frames and the queen walked out and down onto the frame, now well marked. Easy. Anyway, if you're somehow hesitant to buy this one instead of the far more expensive one at the beekeeping supply, don't be. It's the same. ... show more

  • A little modified but works great
I love the product really useful seems huge but is easily handled. My foam was not tall enough to hold my virgin queens down . I noticed a small rigde inside to limit the plunger from going up higher . I gently carved it out with my knife both sides , put it back together and it will now hold the queen steady and still not hurt her . 🐝🙂 ... show more

  • Easy one-handed operation
Used it today and it worked pretty well. Easy one hand operation. Not recommended for marking the queen, but rather just holding her while the marker dries.

  • Using this Silk ok
The queen cage is ok. The marker is completely useless, which makes the queen cage useless. I received a green marker, which is the color for LAST year, so it won't be useable for years. On top of that, the marker needs to be pressed extremely hard to get any ink to comes out. It I pressed the marker in a queen hard enough to makes the ink come out, it would kill her. COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY!! ... show more

Great price and all works well except for the unit to hold and mark the queen. its made to push up and clip into place with detent. detent does not work well and had to trim it off and now I do not have any complants.

  • Cage is ok marker is trash!
The queen cage is good quality foam is short have to use tissue to pad it. The marker is total garbage. It’s for writing on “glass” doesn’t even work on glass. It NEVER DRIES!

  • Great Value Compared to its Competitors
A fraction of the cost than the similar ones sold by honey bee equipment suppliers and comparable in quality. The pushing mechanism can stick a bit but other than that it’s a solid queen catcher. Makes it easy to mark your queens without hurting them.
