I had a day off work today so I was able to go and check out me hive nice and early (I normally leave for work very early in the morning) and I saw these little things off to one side of the entrance. I'm just wondering if it is something I need to worry about or is it just part of their normal house keeping.

Thanks

Chalk brood.  Caused by chilled brood that gets taken over by a fungus.

Those are chalk brood mummies.
