> The question is not how much you see on the upper entrances but how much
ice you see under the inner lids and on frames.

From photos that have been previously posted here and elsewhere, no ice
forms under insulated lids.
Can anyone please confirm that there is less ice under non-insulated lids
of hives with top ventilation?
It would seem to me that a top vent would make the underside of the lid
even cooler, and thus more prone to condensation.
Observations please????
