Queen Rearing Equipment

We have a choice of white, yellow, red, green, or blue pens.  

Queen colour marking for year ending:

• 1 or 6 = White 
• 2 or 7 = Yellow 
• 3 or 8 = Red
• 4 or 9 = Green
• 5 or 0 = Blue

NB Since the arrival of varroa many beekeepers are re-queening annually or every 2 years.
Some will have a colour for their Spring queens and another for their Autumn queens.
