The hives are over-crowded.  If they get too crowded they might swarm.  Make sure they have top ventilation.  Remove the feeders and entrance reducers so they have ventilation.  Why are you feeding syrup in August?

Are “swarming” on the outside of their hives?  Why? And any guidance on actions, if any, we should take?
