Hiya Chad, welcome to the forum. The best way to keep a swarm in the hive is to use some brood, either donated or cut out and fixed to empty frames. There’s a good example of fixing cut out comb to frames in this thread. > [@Elastic Bands, String or Chicken Wire?](https://forum.honeyflow.com/t/elastic-bands-string-or-chicken-wire/20518): > > Hi folks, I recently cut out a couple of hives to put in nucs and help out some people who didn’t want feral bees living around their houses. The first one I was caught on the hop and we secured the comb in the frames inside the nuc with string, (not very secure!!!) The second one I had a bit of time to prepare and made up some frames with chicken wire to support the comb and allow me to fill the frame with brood and honey like a jigsaw puzzle. (much more secure) My question is, will the chic… Hope this helps. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.honeyflow.com/t/beehive-relocation/20656)._
