I think he probably used the Nicot system. The queen lays in a cell cup that can be transferred to a cell bar so no grafting is actually done. Not that that matters in whether you have to wait until the egg hatches.

They will destroy them - because - those eggs will have traces of the original queens pheromone on them. That pheromone - which is present on the egg membrane - will disappear as the membrane dissolves during 'hatching'. Only transfer Larvae.

That doesn't add up because when I put frames of eggs into queen right or queen less hives they don't destroy them. They raise them just like all the other eggs in the hive.

Yep that's why no one grafts eggs.
I thought no one grafted eggs because it's dang near impossible to move them without damage.
