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.

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.
