Answer:

The queen has been extremely busy. Drone bee brood (males) and worker bee brood (females) have different appearances. Worker bee cells are flat with the rest of the comb, however drone cells are slightly taller and raised than the rest of the comb due to their larger size.

Answer:

Drones have huge eyes that touch at the top of the head. Female worker bees have much smaller eyes that are well separated on the sides of their heads. The male's eyes are so much larger because they need to find a potential queen in flight. Second, males are slightly larger than a female worker bee.Explanation:
