After grafting I wanna put the frame with cubs in the hive with queen present. Is that ok?

If the cubs are the graft frame, and inserted to a queen right hive, how would the cubs grow?

The simple answer is No. The bees have to feel that they are queenless before they will start building new queen cells.

Swarming and supercedure induced queen cell production is a different situation.

I am sure you are referring to grafted larvae in JBZ cups, If you place those grafts where the queen can get to them she will probably destroy them. If they are placed above the queen excluder the nurse bees will probably ignore them, however if you place cells that have been started 24 hours ago again above the queen excluder nurse bees will probably finish the queen cells.

If you wanted to put them on top of a queen right hive, look into the cloak board method. It has a queen excluder & slide to separate the pheromones..,
