I was going through my 4 hives today and one of them had this white stuff on the front entrance. They look like dried bugs of some type, but no legs or anything. In fact, at first I thought the bees were carrying out little white pebbles. Can someone please tell me what this is and what I need to do.
Thanks.

DEvdog,
If they were chilled they wouldn't be "dried up with no legs and look like white pebbles."
