Bee Hive Entrance Height?

I use 3/8" on my nucs in order to keep the entrances reduced, as it's easier for the bees to protect the hive.

On my production hives I will use up to 3/4". This allows for fairly unobstructed flights in and out of the hive during heavy flows when the bees are most active.
