You can put some grass into the entrance to slow them down a little. You can also wait until dusk to hive them ( they will atleast stay in over night) or if there is rain in your local forecast in the very near future you can hive them in the rain (they won't fly much due to the rain) I have learned that if they want to abscond they will no matter what u do. I have had a package abscond over a week after hiving it. Any of these things might help though. As for the sugar syrup you want to mix a 1:1 ratio this time of the year, one part water to one part sugar. Hope this helps and have a Blessed season!
