Spotted this bee in hive. Nearly looked like half the wings have been chewed off.

Any thoughts?

(Ignore the white stuff on bee. My fault)

If recent hatchling could be Deformed Wing Virus* ( DWV).... treat with Hiveclean

*although the few times I have seen DWV the wings look more shriveled and not cleanly cut.

Yeghes da
 
looks like a dead drone that has died and bees chewed at it to get it out the hive
