She lays as much eggs as she or the colony can handle. If the colony is small she will lay eggs in periods but if they colony is bigger she will lay eggs every day.

You can not tell it buy looking at the queen, but if you see a pile of eggs she is laying.

no there temprature doesn't need to be over 28 degree's around 25 degree's is enough for them

If the temprature is on 30 degree's they will grop faster?d:
And that's good right ?
