You have a count the occupation of one cel in one brood cyclus
egg, larve, pupa, cell cleaning. (3+6+12+????= 25??)
So count 1500 eggs in one day
Count the number of cell one one frame (circle!!!)
(if you have a frame with brood from left to right and from top to bottom,
something is wrong)
and take some place for nectar first storagge
Take more place if there is a big flow.

and then, calculate 2000 eggs/day (buckfast????)

so it depends totaly on:
- kinds of the queen (big or small colony)(rase of bees)
- nectar flow
- size and number of frames
