What does it mean when there are lots of bees on the outside of the hive?  Is this a problem or is it normal?  There doesn't seem to be signs of a pending swarm.  The colony looks healthy.  The frames are rather full @80% honey, brood, pollen, capped brood etc.  There are only spots in a few frames for growth.
