> I remember only a couple of instances of some mold on lids and top
frames.  If I remember correctly it happened in colonies with a lot of
space, stores and relatively low populations.

The above is my main question -- are those who are claiming issues with
condensation and mold, having those issues only in colonies wintered in too
large a hive cavity?

In other words, is the purported condensation issue an artifact of
wintering small clusters in hives that are too large for them?
Thermodynamic considerations would suggest so.
