Hi Hugo and all,

Just as I said in the first reply, there may have been a dearth of nectar 
and/or pollen. If there is not enough of both, she will not start laying 
until there is a supply coming into the hive. Sometimes you need to feed 
when a new queen is introduced to have a good start. Was there plenty of 
both coming in at the time? Is the hive well populated? Where do you have 
the bee yard?

And then there is just the fact that we cannot change nature to suit our 
thoughts and therefore control her actions. I would guess that was the 
situation with this girl.
