Hi Kelley;
 
        Not quite, its a frame of honey, old stickies or new foundation. A
frame of brood will encourage the hive to swarm, by increasing the
population. The idea is to allow the hive to expand their store of honey.
 
        The exception is when their is more than one queen in the hive, in
this case there will be a swarming, if the other queens are not removed.
Thanks from :
