Take the branch and shake the bees off on top of the hive and move the branch somewhere else where the bees don't have access to it. They are being attracted to the queen pheromone which is still on the branch.
The bees on the box are releasing a scent and fanning to let the other bees flying around know where the queen is. That's a good thing.
Leave the box where it is for a while and let them settle down. Meanwhile get some kind of bottom board ready.
Take a deep breath and relax. You'll be alright.
