Keep in mind that, if the hives are in an area which is at all windswept,
and if the screens are exposed to drifting snow, that the wind may pack the
hive entirely full of snow from the bottom.   That will kill your bees.

If the area is protected and/or the bottom is shielded from drifting, no
worries.
