[QUOTE="John B, post: 8987, member: 207"] Ventilated\unventilated is a great big can of worms. I know many very good beekeepers that wouldn't have anything but ventilated floors and I know just as many who wouldn't have a ventilated floor if you gave it to them. I personally don't like them although they are useful for doing mite drop monitoring . The reality is that bees will do fine under normal conditions with whatever configuration you give them. That's when things aren't so normal like robbing, wasps, hives blocked up for shifting in the daytime et cetera that the advantages and disadvantages of various floors come into play. [/QUOTE]
