When possible, you want to have a few frames with drawn comb (or at least foundation) in the box before you knock the bees into it. That gives them a place to stay, is attractive to the queen, and feels like "home". It reduces the immediate attempts to migrate out of the box and go back where they were.

Thank you for the tip!
