You guys almost made me doubt. Today I checked the hive again and .... 
YESSS a saw the "unwilling queen" again (marked white 6) and .... YESSS 
there are lots of eggs.
Which brings me back to my question "Why does a young mated queen stop 
laying eggs when introduced in a new colony, and why does she wait about 25 
days before she begins to do what she ought to do : producing eggs ?"

cheers,

Hugo (half a bee)
