Queen & Bee breeding / Marking my queen

« on: June 25, 2012, 12:23:08 PM »

I am struggling to find a non-toxic paint pen/white out product that I can use to mark my queen effectively without harming her.  I am so worried about introducing a nasty chemical into her system and don't have time to order a pen online.  The beekeeping shops I have called around Denver Metro area are "all out" and even the office supply stores that I have checked don't have the "water based" white out products by paper mate or Bic.  I have been to Michaels but don't know which "non toxic" paint pens I can trust.  Anybody have pictures of the brands they use?

Thanks beekeeping friends!
