What are your thoughts on marking swarm queens? What color do you use and why? I would like my swarm queens to be marked with a color other than that used on my bred queens. I would also like to have some idea of when I caught them/age.

Every year I buy 2 color pens, this year it was the standard green and neon green. When I want to mark a queen as special, she gets the neon green. I just use a variant of the year though, that way I can still tell the year in which she came from, but know she isn't one of the "ususal" ones.

Since all my queens come from swarms and cutouts, I just use white because it offers the best contrast for my aging eyes.
