You can't if there is brood there. You would have to trap her in a queen cage and put her in the new hive, then transfer as many of the other bees as possible. If the new hive is kept very close to the old site the remaining bees should go to the new hive by themselves within a few hours.

They don't. Queen bees don't normally leave the hive, and there is only one in each hive.
How do you make a queen bee leave the nest?
The queen bee of a hive does not leave the nest by any means. Without a queen bee, a hive simply cannot exist. If one were to remove the queen bee, it would be a matter of hours before the hive is in complete chaos. In the event the queen bee is about to die, there is already a "lady-in-waiting" to take her place. In simpler terms, the queen cannot be persuaded to leave. It is simply not in their design.

Does a queen bee ever go out of the hive?

How do bees decide on a queen?
There can only be one queen in a hive. If a hive becomes too crowded, the workers will prepare several queen brood cells and the queen will lay an egg in each. The workers will cover the egg with royal jelly -- this is what makes the difference between the larva developing into a queen rather than a worker. After this, the queen and roughly half of the workers will leave the hive and look for somewhere else to form a hive. This is a swarm. Eventually one of the queen cells will break open and a new queen will emerge. The first thing she will do is search out the other queen cells and sting them to kill the other developing queens. If two queens should emerge at the same time, they will fight until one is dead. A few days later, the new queen will leave the hive on a mating flight, followed by the drones. After mating she will return to the hive and not leave it again unless with another swarm.
