I maybe off so please don't take what I say for concrete. I also grow bees and not honey for commercial reasons but my thought is... if you were able to stay on top of the swarm cells by cutting them out or knocking them down and keep supers in front of the bees then you should be able to make good honey.
I'm putting this out there so someone else could say yes or no to my thought process.
Also, I like your nuc idea. Try to in courage new beekeepers to try nucs instead of packages.
