My nextdoor neighbor has bees. I meet them all the time cause they try to come in to my yard to build a new hive lol. My neighbor will come over and talk to them and try to get them to come in to a box. She treats them like little dogs, its pretty cute. Then she gives us free honey for our trouble.

I thought bees only do that when the hive they have is not good. But I am no expert, and might be reciting some bee propaganda.
Pretty sure sometimes they just split like that when they get a new queen, one takes a bunch of bees and heads out and the other stays there.
