Dear Teri,
 
beedots are small plastic discs with different shape or numbers. One is fixed with
glue on the back of the queen to mark it individually. Although you can only get the
numbers 0 to 99 you can also use different placings of the beedots, according to the
arrangement of the numbers on a clock. So it is possible to sign up to 400 queen
individually if needed.
By the way it is very easy to find the marked queen in the hive. The beedots are
used in 4 different colours. So you can easily identify the age of the queen.
