I inspected my hives yestarday and seen some very small jumping insects in side the hive. Should I be concerned with them and what could they be? They looked like fleas to me or could they be mites?

Whatever they are they are not a threat to bees, unless they are small hive beetles.

I checked again just a few hrs ago and the # I saw were not as great as yestarday. They really look like fleas . Thanks again
