What sort of frames are you looking for? Commercial?

Beautifull!

I have sold about 15 nucs last year and if that happened to any nuc I supplied I would offer a new one free of charge, especially if the buyer is a new beekeeper. They need all the support they can get. Somebody that already has bees may find it possible to remedy this with frames from other...

My suspicion is that there are workers laying, as some cells have lots of eggs in them. But I also think that the queen is laying mostly drone eggs, as many cells that had a perfect large egg layed right in the middle of the bottom of the worker cell is hatching out but turning out to be drone...

Just checked today - a total of 6 worker cells capped amongst thousands of drones! So my queen is probably not very good. D'oh!
