When you look into a wild colony or if you have standard frames in a 14x12, or a forgotten bait hive, the comb will be all over the place, bees aren't uniform, so it won't stop ventilation.Finally if this is a problem that is really troubling you put the boxes at right angles to each other. They will not build brace comb and it has little effect on the bees. Some say it stops ventilation but never having been in a beehive as a bee I wouldn't know. It works for me and it will work for you.
