Does humid air rise or fall?

I'm asking cause I recently turned a wine fridge into a humidor and I have my heat and electronic humidifier on the bottom and beads in the middle and top. I'm trying to decide the best place to put the fan. So, if the electronic humidifier is actually releasing moisture at the bottom, will the humid air stay at the bottom, in which case the fan would be best served on the bottom, or would that humid air rise and therefor the fan should go at the top. Help? Thanks!

I would think that the humid air would fall, since it is more dense than air with lower humidity.

In my setup, I have a cigar oasis electric humidifier at the bottom, and beads at the top. I've maintained a humidity in the high 60's and haven't had any problems. I haven't needed to add a fan, but I don't think that it would hurt to have one in there.
