Hello everyone. I am a new beekeeper. I am considering making a shim with a top entrance and some 1” ventilation holes which I would cover with screen to help manage condensation over the N Florida winter season. I am using Flow Hives (I gather they are not popular with veterans...I didn’t know any better...plan to use traditional hives for new Nucs this spring). The Flow Hive design doesn’t have a top entrance or ventilation holes except for a 3” hole in the inner cover.
Please share your thoughts on the ventilated shim as well as top entrances. I’m thinking I will make it 2” tall
