What is this on the sticky board?
« on: June 19, 2015, 08:17:30 pm »
Did a 24 natural mite drop count to a board and found these. There were quite a few clustered in one spot. Any ideas? Im just curious.

Yup, wax moth feces. I often find them though I never find any evidence in the (active) hivea and no comb damage. BUT, be careful when you store comb... that's when I see them appear.
