Queen discs - that glow in the dark!

[Brian Bush]

Thornes sell a kit with metal discs that allow you to pick the Queen up with a magnetic pen.
I think it was also suggested that by installing a magnetic strip at the hive entrance it would catch the Queen should she attempt to leave, thus preventing swarms.

(I may have dreamt that last bit).

I know these disks are available from a German supplier. Does anyone know of a supplier other than T****s? I cannot recall the name of the German company and T*****s are very expensive.

I thought it was a policy not to give the full name. I like JBM suggestions as well!!!

Ok, maybe they don't actually glow in the dark,

Good according to some tall tales from the North Wales constablebubblery on the isle of the mad , the last thing you'd want is a glow in the dark queen as they have nocturnal queen thieves up there
