Moving the Queen to a Nuc

After a brief Facebook exchange with Kevin Ward, keeper and queen rearer in Indiana, he suggested I remove the queen from the hive and place her in a nuc. This will allow her to continue producing eggs, but not within the larger hive that already has recognized a defect in her. What this could allow for is (eventually) two queens laying for one hive. The hive is already too overpopulated with drones (I feel), so any additional worker production will greatly help the hive.
