Drilling holes in supers might seem like a good idea but I've never known a beekeeper who did it who didn't regret it big time later. It creates more problems than it cures and it doesn't even cure the problems it is used for.
A vent at the top most part of the upper super is a must but drilling a hole doesn't put it where it's needed.
A vent below the top most part of the super still lets a good amount of moisture accumulate, which can, at times, produce rain inside the hive.
A top vent can also be used for an entrance but holes in the supers make a lot of extra entrances that can subject a colony to robbing as the more entrances the harder for the bees to guard them all.
Over time a beekeeper can end up with holes drilled in every box because the boxes aren't put on the same hive or in the same order as they were the year before so new holes are added.
Venting is a little different than entrances but every vent can be used as an entrance. Proper ventilation calls for a one way air flow from the bottom of the hive to the top, this can be done with either SBB and an Imirie shim, or SBB and a top entrance. Both provide the required ventilation and control and limit the amount of entrances.
