Small black balls in base of flow chamber

Hi

I checked in the bottom of one of my flow frames yesterday and found lots of tiny black balls that looked like small poppy seeds, haven’t seen these before.

Can any one assist with what it might be, sorry forgot to get a photo.

Thanks Geoff

Impossible to be sure, but the most likely is wax moth poop. :blush:

Poop from other insects, we had the same thing before we used the hive - we believe it was earwigs. Blew it out with compressor.
