Have a plastic dummy board at the back of Lower Brood Box.

Noticed at times, it can have condensation on it and at the back of the Brood box itself. Had it at times last season, and changed B Box, wrapped hive etc to see if it would help

I’m now wondering is the plastic dummy board causing the damp/condensation?

I have a wooden dummy board in above Brood box, but it doesn’t seem to have that problem.
 
is the difference in material highlighting something that isnt really a difference? wood will maybe absorb a bit of condensation, plastic might just be highlighting it to you?
 
Why don’t you just swap the dummies around.
