Default Worms' preference for only one compost bin (one of three)

Do all three bins have the same bottoms, and are they all standing on
the same thing underneath, like bare earth or concrete slabs or
whatever? Are the two outer bins at a different moisture to the middle
bin?


Are all the worms in the other bins a couple of inches below the surface
of the compost?

I rarely see any when I lift the lid. Any there are beneath whatever's
recently been put in (mainly kitchen waste) - and there aren't that
many. The middle bin is sometimes absolutely seething with worms. I've
tried loosening the contents of the bins by giving it a bit of stir with
a fork (even though it's not overly compacted), but it hasn't made any
difference.
