Thousands of bee's flying in front of the hive,what's going on

These are flying all over in front of my hive never seen this before I don’t think they’re swarming any ideas?

Orientation flights would be my guess.

At first I thought it was a robbing situation so I reduced the entrance, then on second thought I went down and opened it back up everything seems to be normal. So I agree …orientation flights but I didn’t know what it was so that’s why I asked thanks for your reply always learning something new everyday

Mine too. But with me it’s at the same time everyday in the late afternoon. Personally I’d imagine they’re being kicked out of the kitchen so momma can make dinner.
