I just built 4 nucs and 10 deep hive bodies to make swarm traps. I'm going to fill them with 1 or 2 old brood comb and the rest new frames. Also I am using LGO I'm screwing plywood to the top and the bottom for simplicity. So my question here is how big of a hole should I drill in the side for an entrance and how far up from the bottom should it be to accommodate entrance disks?

Thanks

three eights 3/8 to three quarter 3/4 inch that is the opening most found in nature and small enough most other critters will not make it home first
