I have one hive that is agressive and they were that way for a day or two after I split them. My Carnie hives could care less after a split or full inspection. They should settle down.

Queenless hives are often unfriendly. They may be queenless.

Like Mr Bush said. When you did your split, did you get a new queen for the queenless hive, or are you letting them make a queen. If you have them making their own queen, make sure you put some frames in the hive without a queen that have eggs in them. Then in a couple of weeks, they should settle down a bit after their new queen emerges.
