Hi I am hoping someone can tell me what these bugs are. I visited my hives last week to do the first Oxalic treatment and these bugs were on the polystyrene and celotex which is in the roof for insulation. Returned this week with camera and did 2nd treatment. Bugs are not affected by the vapours and concerned they could be doing some damage. They are cedar hives ,and really minute bugs. Any ideas? Thanks for looking

Maybe some sort of earwig nymph?
 
Similar in looks to a longhorn woodworm beetle, but the bands on yours seem more prominent
 
See something similar in mine (and some triangular shaped huge spiders)#.

I let them be - the bees appear to happily co-exist with lots of other insects.

# usually in TBH roofs which are big and have cosy corners.
