Every time I had laying workers, I introduced a frame of brood - which probably had emerging brood and definitely eggs.  Michael Bush advocates this.  Worked every time.  Never had to do this more than twice.  If this hive was week - (which I've found is usually the case after laying workers develop), after they started making queen cells, I'd combine with another small colony using a double screen board.  Best invention ever. Results were a working medium size colony.
