The Crown of Thorns is a time-tested, reliable tool for marking your queen bee quickly and safely – without the stress or chase.
This handmade queen marking cage features a sturdy wooden outer ring and 24 sharp metal pins designed to gently but firmly press into your brood frame, holding the tool in place while you mark your queen through the durable metal mesh top.
Using a Crown of Thorns means no need to pick up the queen – less stress for you and your bees. Simply spot her, press the tool over her on the frame, and mark her through the mesh.
A classic bit of kit that belongs in every beekeeper's box, especially for those managing multiple hives or performing regular requeening.
