I have found this to be a very  line/strain dependent.  Some will, while 
others won't; in some cases sealing the upper openings shut during the 
summer.  Generalizing, Italian types are more likely to make use of 
them, while Carniolian varieties won't.<
I'd agree, and I prefer Italians for fast brooding, since our summer's are short and nectar flows come on quick.
