Open mesh floor.....please don't worry pips, did all my hives yesterday, there had a pile of dead bees this morning, two had nothing, this afternoon all the bees cleared from the entrances but dropped on the floor. Some of those who say no deaths do not have hives on home turf so by the time they get back to them there is no trace of dead bees!
Just keep smiling, it is for the best! I found it really hard last year but expected it this year!

Unless I go down to look early in the morning before the chickens are out I never see dead bees on the floor.
