Docile turned Spicy

So we have a hive that up until about two weeks ago was super friendly and docile. Now every time we get into the hive they dive bomb/try to sting us. All of their boxes are pretty full with nectar and brood but not a ton of pollen. Any recommendations? We do know it’s an old queen and we have the intention of requeening the hive later in the year. First time having an apiary, our second hive is thriving, happy, and calm still.

Swarmed this spring. Setup includes two deep boxes and a medium. Central North Carolina, nectar flow has been great this spring for us.

Thanks for any input!
