Rescued Bees Re-hived and Relocated!

Good job. Have captured swarms which are amazingly docile. Haven't yet moved a hive from where it can't stay. Aside from moving the queen into the hive box so the others will follow, do you also take some of the comb with brood to coax away nurse bees, and comb with honey to further strengthen the move?
