How is the nectar supply?  Laying is a hive activity not a decision by the
queen.  When fresh nectar and pollen are being brought into the hive this is
the trigger for increased laying.  If other hives at the same location have
a significantly greater amount of brood I suggest requeening the slow hive.
Searching for motives is a fascinating pastime but building hive populations
fast is the way to get honey.
