Are you talking about actual louvered type vents? Like on the sides of a house?
All the observation hives I have seen just uses #8 screen, on the inside portion of the hole.

yup, mine just have hole like door knob holes drilled around the frame. there are 3 top and bottom and 5 on the long side. one for each frame. they are screened from the inside.

Someone really ought to tell them that the world of Ayn Rand?s novel was not meant to be aspirational.

For the top I drill holes and put in #7 hardware cloth so I can feed some pollen. For the sides, I just cut a saw kerf slit for vents.
