I usually put 2 frames of capped brood with bee's and 1 frame of honey with bee's and a frame of pollen and 1  empty frame, its good to give the new queen something to lay in ;) , if your brood frames or honey frame has a lot of pollen in them then install 2 empty frames, you dont need a frame of eggs unless you are going to let them raise a queen .
