The rate at which the queen lays varies through the year. In winter the queen lays very few eggs, and may even stop laying altogether for a period. In spring her laying rate will rise, and in late spring she could be laying 2,000 eggs a day as the colony builds up to full strength. The rate will then slow down again through summer, and from the second half of summer colony numbers will reduce in preparation for winter.
