That'd be tippex, then?

Not putting up one of your Amazon links Admin? Assumed that generated click-through revenue?

No revenue has ever been earned by the forum from Amazon,its just a bit of software that gives an Amazon image.

Maybe I should start to think about using the Amazon advertising programe?

 

[Silly Bee]

they last for years as long as you store them 'tip down'....I have a yellow one from the early 1990s still going strong (ok, a bit of shaking needed !!)


oh, and what is this years colour, my memory escapes me !

S

So about 20yrs use of a pen.

5 pens, 100 yrs. ok Seems a bargain.

Hope you don't lose them.

Ah, thought it was an affiliate marketing thing to give the coffers some well deserved coppers - no idea if thats possible with Amazon or not but it does come up here quite a lot

That is a third party seller, so it is plus P&P.

Hmm, not for me - it probably chops and changes though.

Worth noting with these pens.

WARNING.

Do not leave the pen in the warm sunshine, then attempt to mark the queen - it will shoot paint everywhere. Thankfully I tested mine on a drone (drowned the poor little chap) before marking the queen.

Apart from that, they're good pens.

 

[als_bees]

Yes just ordered mine, See how they go, Now I will have to find HR.

Yes, my experience as well, queen didn't cop it but I do have a special one-of Sherrif green bee suit with fine blue polka dots. What all the well dressed beeks in Paris were wearing in 2010 I'm told.

Can't help noticing they're not sold for the purpose- is everyone confident they wont harm the queen eg wrong solvent?

they are the same ones that Th**nes sell for the purpose.

I bought one this afternoon from "Park Beekeeping" for 85p.....not exactly a pen but more like a nail varnish bottle/brush.

For 20 years I've used white tippex but all the bottles (I'd nicked from my last job) have finally dried up!!

 

[nottingham]

I have them on Amaz*n and deffo gonna buy some. Thank You for posting this thread.
