I can see multiple eggs in some of those cells with some of the eggs on the sides which indicates exactly what Jeff is saying “laying worker”. Looks like some of the brood larva has died leaving there blackened bodies in the cells, this is mostly likely from a lack bees in the colony to feed and keep them warm. Did you see the queen on any of the frames? You could introduce a new queen but I feel it is too late, the best course of action is a weekly frame of brood from another hive or get yourself a new package of bees.
