I have a open mesh bottom floor with draw.
One of my hives, when removing the draw, its always wet and you can see small rivers of water among all the other rubbish. It’s not due to rain as we haven’t had any. This started about 3 weeks ago. All my other hives are dry and this hive in question is next to another hive that is also dry. Is it just condensation?, first year, so I’m not sure how normal this is and if I should be adding ventilation in the top box to avoid it happening over winter. Strange it’s only happening in this hive.
