If you introduce capped brood in to a foreign hive i.e. you're wanting to boost population in a nuc or something, and they're close to emerging - will there be any issues with them accepting the foreign queen?
I have never had any problem putting capped brood, or any brood into a hive. The hive accepts them just fine, and they don't know any difference as they hatch out.

That is how you build up a weak hive, make splits and nucs, and finish out queen cells. It is ok and done everyday.
works fine and you don't even have to get all the nurse bees off. just give it a shake and pop it in.
Check to make sure the queen isn't on the frame (another reason to mark them) and plop them in the new hive. It's really easy and effective. I do it all the time.
Me too, I did this so many times this year when i had my drone laying queen. I had to maintain the hive population by transferring open and capped brood. Open brood to prevent a laying worker as larvae pheromones prevents that and capped brood to maintain the population.
