Anyone had this experience? New queen laying well in 3 frame nuc added with newspaper to fairly strong hive on the Saturday, put together on the Sunday. 7 days later today new queen still there looks good but no eggs. Very little stores.

I took a laying queen from an apidea and introduced her to a 7 frame nuc via a cage and she took over 2 weeks to start laying again after she was released from the cage. Another one took about 10 days but others are laying from the day they are out of the cage.

I don't breed your sort of numbers and mostly over the years I join them on 2 or3 frames and hey hit he ground running, i havent seen his. Thanks I'll give her a bit more time
