Over the years I've read so many give good advise to practice marking on drones. Did I listen, NO.
Attempted to mark one of the nwc queens I raised this year in a marking tube, with a marking pen. Pumper the pen to get ink to the tip ,& positioned the queen properly in the tube. When the tip of the pen touched the plastic screen too much ink came off of it. She has a little ink on both wings, & her thorax.
I'll check on her next week, to see if she's still alive.
Maybe another bone head like myself can learn from my mistakes.:doh:
Should I have touched the tip of the pen against my pants before, touching the queen?
