The bees leave the hive with the queen to find a new place. They come out because of the warm weather and because there is plenty of food in nature.
Although the pictures look frightening, such a swarm is usually not dangerous. The bees do not attack without reason. But it is important not to approach them and not to try to move them. You should keep your distance and call professionals to remove the bees.
