What's this on the varroa board?

[keith pierce]

Well I am not certain what the eggs are/were but varroa boards are notorious for producing wax moth so that is what I plumped for.

Well Ruary, sadly to say this time you are wrong. As you can see the clean inspection board was only inserted in the previous few days and their is very little hive debris on it. Wax moths need a build up of floor debris before they can lay their eggs or their larva will not survive. Plus if you look at the shape of the wax moths eggs in the photos you will see that they are oval in shape. I am still sticking with eggs from the queen. Laying workers are ruled out as well.

I'm sorry if my suggestion offended you.

No, no! I can't speak for Keith, but I feel sure that's not how he meant it. I found all these suggestions really interesting. Kitta

I'm confident a DNA test will confirm

No offence meant and no offence taken.

When you say interesting Kitta I take that to mean my mouse suggestion has nosedived out of contention
Deeply deeply offended

Mus confecticus. Yes, it's far too sweet to litter a Varroa tray.
