Rich,
 
     The bees won't tolerate intruders unless they (the bees) are
clustered in the upper reaches of the hive and can't get  down to defend.
 In PA. I leave the entrances open all summer and place entrance cleats
on in the Fall.  A cleat may help keep winds out and keep the colony a
little warmer.  The hardware cloth mentioned in other responses is great
and can be left on all year.
