critters in the hive

Ok this year is a little weird.  I have had a bunch of earwigs in the hive, and something that looks like a cockroach, I know it is not but looks like it though...

Better to have earwigs in the hive than your ears.   Just had to say that.   We get wood roaches in our hives, but all the hives are out in the woods.

Our bugs are brown with no pinchers.  They are roaches of some kind.
