It doesn't matter because the temperature inside and outside is equal. Bees don't heat their hive. Just out of a wintering cluster the temperature is the same as outdoor..

Condensation happens in coldest surface. IT has nothing to do with "more insulation".
Condensation also happens if wet air is not deletad from the hive properly.

All holes open and even a open hole on the top. I have never meet that.
There are some figures (for our climate):Do you think that 20 kg winter food is enough in that system for 9 months ?
