During hive inspections we found a couple of laying, unmarked queens. When asking for the marking pens, the word was don’t do it! If anything goes wrong with the marking (ink blobs out, queen is injured, etc) there is no time for a new queen to establish herself going into Winter. Good lesson learned.
