I tried introducing brood before, only one queen ever accepted it and she only accepted one. The rest were eaten. Best case scenario when introducing brood, she excepts them. Worst case, she eats them. Either way, this is the safest way to your parasitic queen.

 

In terms of introducing workers, if you leave them both in the fridge during introduction they are way more passive and more likely to be more tolerable of each other.
