Body Parts

[Etton]

Found a lot of bee body parts on a bottom board ...any suggestions?

Possibly Wasps, I lost another Nuc over the last week, entrance reduced right down to pretty much one bee size and they were okay a week ago, opened up yesterday and all dead apart from a few newly emerged bees wandering around, the bottom of the Nuc was covered in bee parts like your picture.

Probably wasps. If you get the chance to watch then carefully near the hive and place a dead bee on a roof etc (or if there are any hanging around), you may see them bite off the head and abdomen and then fly off with the thorax.

I've certainly seen them flying off with dead bees.
