> To elaborate:
I posted this recently to the Irish list:
Uni Posca - available from many beekeeping suppliers.
Not sure that it is the paint that matters as much as the application: if
you just apply a gentle dab, then the paint sits on the hairs on the queens
thorax - and soon wears off. You really need to get it down on to her
thorax by pressing just a bit harder and almost rub it in (gently of
course - although the thorax will stand some pressure).
Best wishes
