Hi all,
Can someone help identify the debris on this board please? Specifically the mummy-like brown items. Brood?
There is obviously fondant debris, but would also like to know what the brown drop is on the right. Mucky condensation?
Thanks.

Looks like fondant, pollen, bee ****, wax and varroa. Picture is a bit crappy quality for zooming in.
And some condensation.
 
Hopefully better picture for zooming in.

Nothing unto wards noticed, some likely poo/droppings from other sources and may be just one or two varroa but one can't be 100% sure as the focus is still poor when viewing at higher magnification, otherwise looks like a normal board debris.

earwig poo by the looks, I can see two varroa, some bee legs and wings, but I agree that's a good inspection board.(y)
On the second strip right to left there is a round area of pollen just above it you can see earwig poo when you zoom in the earwig poo has lines going through it almost segments if you like.
