Question
Hi! Just an hour ago my budgies emptied out all the bedding I but in the nest box and threw it on the ground. The female is making frequents and short stops in the nest box. Is this part of the breeding process? If yes, what will they do next? I don't think they have mated yet.

Answer
This is GOOD!  And an essential part of the breeding process.  Just a precaution, do not be alarmed if the pair seems to fight a bit; they often will play fight a bit during mating time.  They will probably start mating soon, because the female is now happy with the nest box.
