My thought here was could this be a deficient queen that simply needed 
replacing.  But then I wondered why this was happening on both colonies, it 
seems improbable that that both queens would exhibit the same behaviour at the 
same time.   Does anyone have a view as to what else this could be?

They are well and prosperous and happy with their queen and are taking advantage of the situation by attempting to spread their genes without swarming.
