Is she infertile? :(

My lasius neoniger queen has been past the 2 month landmark and none of her eggs have hatched.
So here is what i got from my research:

Could she be a lasius flavus? I heard they both look similar and lasius flavus take a longer time to develop. I also found her in a lasius flavus nest. However, at first when i thought she was one of the colony, i put some of the brood and workers in with her and the workers attacked her! I read in my research that lasius neoniger sometimes coexist peacefully with lasius flavus in a same nest! :o

So, based on all that i have written so far, is she infertile?
Should i give her more time?
Is she a lasius flavus?
Please answer quick!!!

Give her more time, it's possible that she is a Lasius flavus, try feeding her a tiny drop of honey, she might be eating her eggs.
