I know a guy though who's been keeping bees and harvesting honey for a long time, and he catches swarms and moves them into his own apiary.
he used a queen to do that.
when my grandpa introduced a new queen into the artificial hive box. within the hour an entire swarm was in the backyard moving into the box.
