Thanks in advance
Depends on the humi. If you just have a desk top then it really doesn't matter. I keep my beads in the bottom of the desk top cause humid air rises.

In my vino I keep a pound on the bottom, half a pound in the middle and half a pound up top. Even then i don't really notice a difference when I had them mostly at the bottom.

In a cab is where you will notice a difference in top/bottom levels. If you have a good seal then the difference should be very small maybe 1-2% from the cabs I've seen.

Also it depends how full you humi is. If you keep it well stocked the rh will hold more steady than if it was empty.

Finding out where to put the beads is part of the fun of the hobby. Play around with it and find a place where they fit and you like it. Overall I don't really think it will matter.
