I am afraid you are right. I check archives for a
couple of minutes and could only find:

I start REVERSING brood boxes in late January and
continue that as needed until I super on April 15th.
I may have to REVERSE
3-4 time during this
period. [...]  In February, perhaps you only
have to reverse once, but as the hive builds
population, you may have to
reverse as often as every 7-8 days.
"

and

"
so
REVERSING has to be done at the right time (not when
you get around to it).
The right time is when about
90% of the brood is all in the 2nd story and only 10%
or less in the first
story.
You might have to reverse 2-5 times between now and
April 15th depending on
your queen, population, weather, and other variables.

Yes, I am, even more than you may think. I also caught
butterflies but they are now flying too fast for me.

At least, I read enough to ask questions about things
I misunderstood, it seems. I have been educated in a
way that a priori I respect any one I do not know.
This part of education is called politness. I have
also been educated in a way that the first who brokes
politness rules must not expect respect any more.

Nevertheless, I was glad to learn from the experience
you shared.
