I just did a visual of my hives today and I have never seen so many bees sitting on the outside of the hives as I have today since they used to beard the hives in the summer. Are these guard bees?

It done got hot again, maybe a small beard.
When the law no longer protects you from the corrupt, but protects the corrupt from you - then you know your nation is doomed.

I did not look close enough as I do not remember. I have to go back out there today to water some plants so I will check it out.

guards are generally just inside and/or just outside the entrance.  A bunch of bees outside on the front of the hive, on a hot day, are out there to help keep things cool.  Just like summer.
Winter is coming.

I can't say I hate the government, but I am proudly distrustful of them.

That is must have been what it was. I went out earlier when it was much cooler and they were not there.
