It depends on where the swarm is to begin with. If the beekeeper is hoping to attract a flying swarm, he/she will set up a bait hive and hope to entice a swarm to enter the hive. If he/she has already collected a swarm from somewhere, he/she will have it in a box. If that is the case he/she has two options. 1) just shake the bees into the top of the hive and then put the roof back on or 2) make a little ramp up to the hive entrance, tip the bees out of the box and on to the ramp and they will probably just walk into the hive.
