After inspecting the inspection tray today (apiguard day 14), there was thousands of very tiny clear, almost spider like things crawling all over the board, the floor was litually moving! I don't have any photos but was wondering if anyone else has experienced them?

Hi Mike

Yes i had the same and was not sure what they were so panicked and put the Apiguard on. So if anyone can tell us what they are

just some saprophytic mites. nothing to worry about. they are just eating the debris or what is growing on it.

Possibly pollen mites on there too, they're often on the inspection tray mopping up dropped pollen.
