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?
