Christene,
In my humble opinion you need to add another Hive body ASAP, too many bees, not enough space. Too much heat buildup in the hive, they need more room. If you have a reducer take it off. Your bees do look healthy, they have just run out of room
Just my opinion,

This is just my opinion
I keep two deep hive bodies on mine just for brood chambers, then add my supers on top of those. Gives the queen lots more space to lay eggs. I also reverse them each spring.
Most bee keepers I know have been keeping bees for 30 + years and they tell me they are still in the learning process

Help! I live in moderate Coastal California with a very mild winter! My bees seemed to have been overwintering well. Until a couple of weeks ago when the activity at the entrance decreased tremendously. I have not seen the bees bring in any pollen for the last couple of days. This is my first year of beekeeping, so I am green as green can be(e)! Anyway, my question is do bees stop bringing in pollen (they were bringing in pollen a couple of weeks ago) as a normal process? Or is this a bad sign?
