Depends on how the boxes are made. Some are made so there is bee space on top, others are made so the bee space is on the bottom.
I like mine with space between the top edge of the frames and box, helps when putting on pollen patties.

A "standard" box has 1/4" space at the top and 1/8" space at the bottom. They should NOT be flush with the top of the hive body.
