>>Curious how other beekeepers handle small amounts of brood in
extracting comb...

I'd leave those frames over the hive to let the larvae mature and emerge.  I use queen-excluders these days and don't have to face this situation.

>>...and what the effect is on honey if large amounts of
larvae juices get into the honey.

I assume you'd filter out the larvae with small wax particles etc.  Larvae juices will be negligible.  Unless the frames are ~75% and up with brood.

>>Especially troubling is the situation where brood and comb sit in a hot room and then not extracted say for 5-10 days after removing from
hive.

Why not then leave these frames over the hive and let the brood emerge?  It seems to me a cruel and wasteful way of treating baby bees.

On the other hand, in the tropics of Asia brood is regularly collected and consumed as a protein source with a nutty flavor.
