I would definitely recommend combining that Hive with a stronger one because there is hardly know population there at all and no significant brood pattern at all or maybe condense them down to a five frame nuc
That’s not a defensive hive, but the low population makes it a weak one. If that’s your only hive it won’t make it through winter, if you have other hives combine them.
Looks like you have laying workers...Queen is likely gone...which explains why they were irritable before
