Native bees don't swarm as per honey bees.
To repopulate they will over a length of time set up stores of honey and pollen into a new location and only then will a virgin queen be enticed to relocate. The whole process is gradual and no swarming as such occurs.
What you probably seen is fighting from another hive. It isn't uncommon but distressing to watch.
Did you observe any dead bees?
I would have thought any fighting would be over within a day. 10 days, I don't know why.

Alan does the homey from these bees taste about the same as our European bees honey?
Thanks,
