Looks like orientation flights to me. notice the bees crawling up the front face, then jumping off, circling around and then landing.... their first attempts at flying...
Wouldn't hurt to clear some of that dead debris away from the hive.
From a gardening perspective when I leave that stuff there, other critters are growing in it. And then they go after things I'd rather not have them going after.
Liked the pics! Maybe post more, just to see your cool hive and neat bees!
