OK Info shortly.

They might just walk into an Amazon box with a 2"x2" doorway cut along the edge.
It might be possible to scoop them with a 12 oz plastic soft-drink cup

Once you get the queen in your catch box, the rest of the bees will follow.,
Don't disrupt them or the bees might hide the queen somewhere you'll never get her out of.
Best, IMO to let them walk in on their own.
