Queen bee ….. does it come with queen bee?

No it does not come with any Bees

Can I buy boxes only; I have frames and foundation?

I do not know, that is up to the seller. Bees did not like'em very much. I rather buildt the frames myself.

Does it come with nails?

It comes with nails. You’ll need wood glue for the frames. Note that the inner cover is not notched, so you may need to create some ventilation or replace the inner cover. I also prefer a screened bottom board, so bought one of those too.

Are these boxes really made from cedar? Because they look like fir to me.

It smells like cedar. The box is very heavy also.
