Can I use a swarm?

[Heather]

I have a few queen cells in the incubator from an excellent hive. Don't want to rinse house bees off their hives to fill my apideas..
So... If I get a swarm could I use those bees to fill the apideas (once I isolate the swarm queen to one). Will they revert to house bee duties in their 3 day lock down, and with a new hatched queen become a useful unit.

Some people who has 2nd or later swarm with multiple queens separate with each queen into separate mating nucs.
I once split undesired swarm into 2 nucs ( two queens).
