Brad, You may just need to place shims in the back of your bottom board...on the hive support. If it gets out of level front to back then it can collect on the front porch. It should just drop out the screen thought. Yes it's a good idea to close your bottom up in winter. That is way to much of an opening. In short, look to the tree where they evolved from millions of years. There is not an upper vent nor a large open bottom in a tree. Bees make heat...bee heat comes from honey so they have to go through more honey to keep the brood warm. It's simple thermal dynamics. A furnace has to use more "fuel" to keep the same temp when it's cold. Check for level first and then get back to us. The upper vent is another issue we can talk about later.
