Ron,
Try the press-in cage (a ring of pins that you put over the queen and
press into the surface of the comb). It is so much easier than the
method you describe.
You can also buy a pen that contains paint suitable for marking queens.
I buy mine from Thornes (www.thorne.co.uk) but I am sure that some of
your suppliers in the US will sell them too.
