HORTICULTURE

Detailed explanation-1: -Drones remain in the pupal stage for 15 days, so they don’t emerge until day 24. Drones have huge compound eyes that meet at the top of their head and an extra segment in their antennae. In comparison to worker bees, drones have wider bodies and their abdomens are rounded rather than pointed.

Detailed explanation-2: -Every day the drones fly to a drone congregation area that is some distance from the hive. Here, they wait for the sighting of a queen. The drones use their large eyes to spot a queen on their nuptial mating flight. Bees mate midair, 200 to 300 feet up from the ground.
