Additional possible benefits/dangers of open mesh floors not discussed
        Nobody has mentioned the effect of an open mesh floor to a problem of the
Small Hive beetle.  It seems that the Small Hive Beetle larvae would be
able to reach the ground more readily - but perhaps would not find a home
in a well lit/ventilated hive.
... Any thoughts/observations/experiences?
