At times (although rare) young queens lay strange at first like you
describe. I would give her a week before using the hive tool.
My source is a beekeeper which worked for me and had also worked caging
queens for a large queen producer.
He said the problem might be more common than we think but the bees correct
her first mistakes. Protein!
Six eggs in a cell would make a good cover shot for a bee magazine!
