I don't reverse. They can find the bottom boxes all on their own.
One deep, two medium setup
For those of you using this method, do you or how do you deal with reversing of the brood chambers in spring? I want to use this method but do not know if there is another way to accomplish getting the queen/brood down to the lower level with different frame sizes.
Thanks in advance.

I seldom reverse. I checkerboard my brood frames and practice an open brood nest. I add more supers in May. Then in late June the queen has moved down into the lower boxes and top supers are mostly honey.
I would like to overwinter in a single brood box topped with a single medium super. Sometimes I have two mediums and sometimes I have two brood boxes.
