I read either in Beekeeping at the Buckfast Abbey or one of Jay Smith's books on queen rearing that you could easily introduce a laying queen from one hive to another. The issue was not the pheromones given off by the different queens it was the pheromones given off by a queen that was laying and one that wasn't.
I was out at one of my apiaries today combining nucs that had queens that didn't make it and redistributing resources evenly so I could get a better gauge of who was going to need feed in about a month and which of my new queens were laying and which ones didn't make it back from there mating flights. One of my nucs had been completely robbed out and had dwindled to probably 50/75 bees. I was going to shake everything out in front of one of my other nucs assuming the queen had been dead when I grabbed one of my foundationless frames that had comb started about the size and length of your thumb. Upon inspection of the comb there was one of the fattest queens I had seen all afternoon out of all of my nucs. Bummed that there weren't enough resources for the little behemoth I decided to grab a frame of brood and a frame of honey from one of my production colonies and then direct introduce her. I snatched her up with my queen catcher and kept her off to the side in some shade and set the nuc up. I brought chubs back to the hive and set her on top of the top bars inside the queen catcher to see how the bees would react to her. Well unfortunately this brought about the untimely demise of my fat little matriarch. Within seconds the bees were upon her. Before I could shake them lose she had curled up into a ball writhing in agony and went the way of old yeller. Last time I try that.
