When I have the time I'm going to practice marking some drones, but I have a concern about marking queens.
My first observation is that the foam pad on the plunger is very firm. I may apply a less dense foam on top of the original one.
When people use these are they supposed to simply hold onto the plunger with the weight of tube being supported by the queens body?
The tube is made out of fairly thick plastic, and in my inexperienced mind, it's heavy in relation to an insect.
Perhaps queens are more resilient than I believe they are. If not, I think I can make a much more queen-friendly marking tube from some kind of tube that I'll find in the candy section at the CVS.
