We need bees. We also need healthy bees and this might be a danger to not only them but the other bees in the area. I'd research further and see if too many hives too close together is bad for the bees, then go from there

There are dangers such as rapid spreading of EFB and AFB between hives and other apiaries. 26 colonies is a lot, hes likely feeding them because in a suburb there is likely not enough natural food stores. Bees from strong colonies are known to rob other hives of their honey.
