For a normal Langstroth Deep with available frame area of 8 1/8" x16 5/8" and 22.7 cells per sq. inch, the total cells will be 8 1/8 x 16 5/8 x 22.7 cells/sq in. x10 frames x 2 sides per frame =61325. If the queen was laying at 2000 eggs per day and allowing a 23 day brood cycle (21 days + 2 days for cell cleaning), the required cells would be 46000, leaving only 15325 cells for pollen and honey storage, close to brood , drone brood and the odd bit of damaged comb. Perhaps not an over generous surplus of space. However a continuous laying average of 2000 eggs per day would be considered a bit high for our British conditions, perhaps not for Continental climates.
