Without seeing where the swarms come from, or how far apart they are in time,(1 month 5 weeks,etc) its hard to know if they are from the same hive.  I would doubt that they are.  It is not unusual to see the same location get multiple swarms thru out the same year, or an even more extended period of time.  Here in winslow there are several places that get 2 or more swarms a year, and at each place the swarms land within about 2-3 feet of the same place.  You might think of setting a swarm trap up at that location, and check it regularly.  Free bees.yay
