Inside an active hive, a thermodynamic effect takes place 24 hours a day. As an entity, the colony and its offspring, will grow, raise, feed, consume and of course breath. This cycle produces gallons of water as vapor throughout the year, but where does all this vapor-water go?
Typically, most of the hives today are equipped with solid bottom boards and inner covers that actually seal and confine the colony in a dark, damp and air-stagnated place. Bees are facing many threats concerning their health and hygiene, especially during the cold season.
