I use sticks. A stick on top of the hive means some sort of queen issue (like I found a virgin or the hive is going through a supercedure) and a stick in the entrance means it went queenless.

"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

Hardwood, what other issues do you mark the hives for...   besides Not Queenright and Queenless?   I assume they would be issues that would require a check at the next general inspection.

I mark my frames with colored thumb tacks from the office supply store. I use the color code for queen marking to keep track of how old they are.

Frame, most other issues can be dealt with on the spot and don't need later check ups.
