Yes, leave them alone.

What sort of bees? If they're honey bees, start a hive. Otherwise yes, leave them alone. Bumble bee colonies start to disintegrate at this time of the year. The new queen will fly off independently, to mate and then forage for a while before finding a suitable spot to hibernate. The workers will die.
