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.
