We've  also seen it manifest itself when a beekeeper makes splits, dropping 
a   
small split  into full-sized boxes, then subjecting the colonies to  cool  
and 
damp - it has to be harder for the bees to keep conditions  inside a  large 
empty box warm - recommend splits into a nuc box (a  tighter  house with 
less 
empty space).   





Would mesh floors help or hinder?
