It looks like you need more ventillation to me or more supers of comb.
Foragers are not gonna hang out inside in the way if they can avoid it, it's
hot and crowded in there.
Most likely you are seeing this when some nectar source shuts down for the
day, some only provide a few hours a day.
Do the swarm cell check and make sure you have brood and see what you can do
to increase ventillation or room.
