Hi all, just unwrapped some stored empty honey frames from last year and noticed a few tiny insects running about across cells. Any idea from the photo what they might be and whether they are anything to worry about before putting the frames back on? Thanks!

I reckon it is a type of psocoptera, but can't say which one. If that is what they are, probably feeding on pollen and other remnants.
