Most beehives are naturally made. For example in the right climate a cave or hollow tree can be used. Domesticated bees live in man-made units.
Why the bees leave is a different matter. Many scenarios can occur, I'll give you one. If an old colony is greeted by a new queen the old queen has a decision. Leave the hive or fight. Many queens simply take a group of bees with them to find a new location for a new hive; called a swarm. This creates a new hive and continues an old one.
The workers can choose whether or not to follow the new queen or leave with the old one.
