keeping captured swarm in new home

Well I took the plunge and bought the suit, boxes and all the accessories. I put my wild bees in the box and all was well for the first 3 days... and the promptly few away.

Any tips for keeping bees in their new home?

Also, a few stragglers have remained behind. What can I do with them? any chance they will hatch out a queen? (I didn't see queen cells but I'm not sure I would have recognized them, I'm still very new at this) Would it be worth getting a queen for them? Other options?
