Looks like cappings from where they uncapped honey to eat all winter.

Hard to tell from this picture, did you put a piece of paper in the hive ? Maybe from a combine.

That looks like the wax cappings from a winter of feeding. Also some droppings and other trash. 
Winter is coming.

I also was thinking it is capping shreds from opening honey cells. It doesn't seem like dirty, or sickly, refuse. The hive is strong and healthy. I see this stuff periodically, and wondered about varroa feces. I have not seen that yet, but I doubted it. Much thanks.
