I have a Termite colony with a secondary queen but I haven’t seen much development from them (Secondary king). I was wondering if I could give a subterranean termite pair a few workers or if it would only work with eggs and nymphs.

Well, be sure if you try you have the same species. https://entnemdept.u...bterraneans.htm
For most of these you might need a soldier to see mandibles for species identification.

I've tried but it didn't work out for me. Somehow the pair killed the introduced termites instead of the other way around

It works, sometimes. I got a group of dealates to found successfully by boosting them with a group of foreign workers. Probably your experience would depend on what species is involved.
