In my own experience, the result were not good. I introduced ripe cells,
in the honey supers, to 20 col. with marked queens. The cells hatched OK
but later when we looked, the marked queens were still heading the col.
        But- I have heard from some very good beekeepers that this
system works for them. I suspect that the time of the year, the honey
flow, the stocks used all play a part. Looks like another area in which
we could use more research.
