I have discovered that my Abelo poly hives are suffering from water build up on the outside brood frames. This is so bad that the wood of the frames is completely saturated and going mouldy. I also have 4 Abelo brood boxes which I use with wood floors, supers and roofs and they are doing the same, this doesn't happen in any of my wood hives, they are all dry. These are not just a bit damp, they are soaked through and frames gone black. I can only guess its either water ingress which would be a bit strange to affect every single one of them or moisture condensing on the end walls and running onto the frames. Some have VB in place with patches of water on them but even the ones on OMF are soaked.
Any of you poly users know the cause and way to rectify this.
Cheers, Mick.
