Hi Tim & all

I this not routine in USA?
I brand almost every wooden component, including frame side bars, topbars
and if the frame has a single solid bottom bar that gets a brand as well.
But I do keep records of any equipment that I sell to others, also if I buy
kit that already has someone's brand on it I put my own brand alongside the
original so that both show.
I have also considered identifying hive bodies by implanting a harmonic
radar reflector within the wood 10 GHz transmit and 20 GHz receive, with a
transmitter in the 500mW region and a horn antenna this would scan a
considerable distance within line of sight from the roof of a land rover or
similar.
