Is the Paint used to mark the Q a special one as i was wondering as this is my first swarm and have no mark on her could i use tipex (white) i know she should be blue but not got any or could i use the airfix paints you can buy at the model shops or even matt paint,
As i lots of spare bright colours
OR STOP WHAT AM I THINKING OF, CALL MYSELF A BEE KEEPER WHAT WAS I THINKING
IF I DON'T ASK I WON'T KNOW
Only asking as im going to inspect hopfully today and if i see the Q I would like to mark with something to make her more easier to see
Or wait till i get the proper stuff as she is a living thing most inportant to the colany and Don't posioner her with that stuff![Smash :smash: :smash:](https://www.beekeepingforum.co.uk/images/smilies/smash.gif)
