Spring Hive Decisions - Reversing? Feeding? Supering? Single or Double Brood Boxes?

It warmed up enough to open 8 of my 11 hives and I was really happy to find brood, bees, and lots of honey stores! I did some reversing of boxes and frame re-arranging to get the queens down to the lower brood boxes. I made a lot of decisions on the fly and I tried to explain as I work through all the colonies. My plan this year is to try to keep most of my hives as single brood boxes and these early inspections are meant to start training the bees into that system.

Let me know what you think of my decisions in the comments!
