> 1]  probably need nurse bees and certainly plenty of food in the incubator

When I worked at the Dyce Lab, we incubated brood. Usually to have newly emerged bees to mark and introduce into colonies.

You do not put nurse bees in with the sealed brood. If the temperature and humidity are correct, the brood will hatch normally. 

Please explain how much brood you are intending to incubate and why
