This works when housing a swarm from a tree or building. Cut the brood
and comb  honey to fit the frame and hold in with rubber bands. The bees
will fill in and tie it all together. Be sure to include big rubber bands
to go all the way around from end to end. The bands may be removed later.
(If the bees don't remove them first.)
