Brown wax like spots on clean car

[optimusprime]

I have asked this before on the forum .
After i cleaned my car and no sooner i have polished the area ,,i can see small brown spots .
And i am asking this to see if anyone knows just what it is .
Now before anyone answers, no its not bee crap .This is the answer i get from doing a google search on it .
This is a problem that starts in March i look and i can see no bees in March unless they fly a 20.000 feet . And this brownish wax gets worse as the year goes on .I live in the country With fields that are on my back door ...
This brown wax stuff is even on my wifes clean washing after it bought in from the outside line .
Also on the windows of the bungalow . Any of the members got an answer ? I can post a picture if no one as seen it yet.

Mould spores, think called ' artillery fungus ' expelled from exploding spores contained in mulch ? Are you or neighbors mulching garden or fields nearbye?

Yup it really is a pain. Even our window cleaner is threatening to boycott our particular estate. But here's the thing, according to him it is in a small confined area 100 yds or so. And Yes it is honey Bee poo concentrated within a flight path. This year it did start around March, and if its the same as last year it's gonna be a nightmare. Only good thing is that it doesn't appear to do any damage to the painwork. Also seems they can fly very very high.

Its likely to start in March because its a biological process mediated by temperature/light. Its often also when farmers release their animals who have overwintered indoors. They often take the chance to muck out their animal courts and spread it on surrounding fields or muck heaps at the same time. As biological spores they will be chemically complex mixtures. It may be better to identify them under a microscope so you probably want a microbiologist rather than a chemist? Your local Technical college/ University may be able to help possibly on one of their open days.
