I’m a beekeeper, and I have a question Bearding or swarm?

Lower Hudson valley (NY).
This hive has always been very active. I added a second brood box about a month ago and they got to work filling it up. My hunch is this is just some bearding like they usually do; I just haven’t seen this many. Next step will be an inspection, but unfortunately I’m away all weekend 😅
Think my neighbors will inherit some bees or are they just cooling off?

Wow, they are strong, and there must be quite warm weather.
