Hi all, a couple of years ago, I started to notice what looked like sawdust, beneath boxes of brood frames stored over winter. I initially thought it was the result of some mite/insect working on the frames; but it's evident that the woodwork is fine; indeed, apart from some ragged edges to the cells, so is the comb. It seems likely be the remnants of comb content, and I then went on a web hunt (including on this forum) for something I guessed might be a pollen mite.
Is this what this is ?
It's been particularly bad this year. I presume that, whatever it is, it's probably benign? Any more information gratefully received. Thanks
