Assuming you are working with double brood chamber:
        1) using a separate hive body go through the hive an pull
        the frames fulles of sealed brood.  be sure not to get the
        queen.  Brush or shake frames as necessary to be sure.
 
        2) Repack remaining brood together with empty frames on sides.
 
        3) Restack hive with a Queen excluder on top and then the box
        mostly sealed brood. Leave for an hour or overnight.
 
        4) Remove body with brood and bees (to sustain temp) and take
        to your friend's (probably still one body.) Remove his
        cover and inner cover.  put down a layer of newspaper, cut
        a few places between frames with knife or hive tool. Don't
        open cuts.  these are just to get the bees started.
 
        5) Put your body on top and replace covers with a small opening
        on top.
 
You have just taken away a number of bees, most young, and a large
batch of bees ready to emerge.  This will only slow your bees a little
but really jump-start his hive.  The extra laying space will keep your
own hives happy until they are so busy with the honey flow that they will
forget swarming.  You can also take the brood from a number of hives and
get the bees from even another by the same method but you must be more
agressive about removing bees from the frames.
