Description:
Opalites tags are an inseparable element of every apiary.
They are used to mark queens and make it easier to find them in the hive among other bees.
These are reflective opalites tags without numbers.
Opalite color: white.
All over the world, mothers are marked with the same opalite color in a given year.
5 colors are used alternately as queens usually live up to 5 years.
Marking a bee queen makes it easier to identify her age and find her in a bee colony
(e.g. in order to replace or check if the queen is in the hive).
Queen bees live for a maximum of 5 years and therefore you can find opalites in five colors:
white, yellow, red, green and blue. Each of the above-mentioned colors is assigned to a specific year,
e.g. in years ending with numbers 1 and 6 mothers are marked in white,
in years ending with numbers 2 and 7 in yellow, etc.
It is worth using opalite tags to systematize and better control the work in the apiary
