Queen Castle Activity

It?s 7:30 in the evening.  I have 2 queen castles I placed cells in last Friday.  I?m not use to seeing this activity.  It?s similar to robbing, but my other QC and Nucs are fine.  Is this a mating flight return?  This late in afternoon?

Looks more like orientation flights by young bees.  I notice this in my hives in the afternoon, usually between 3pm & 6pm.  I love to grab a coffee and watch all of the action.  Nothing to worry about.
