Wow! That's a great track record - I need to go search your posts to hear more about your approach. I lost all three of my hives after 2 successful years, and still am not sure what I did wrong this past year.

That's a good looking yard. I noticed every one of those hives had a different arrangement on top. Even the bricks looked like they were turned different on each hive. Is that by design to prevent drift? I'm glad you mentioned them pushing the reducer out of the way. I've had that happen several time and I wondered if it was them or the wind.

I use scrap bathroom tiles as reducers, too heavy to push:)
