With more than 50% drone in there I would say its a failing hive with bad queen or laying worker. That was 2 months ago, what up with it now?

The hive now has a new Queen 👍. I don't mind the high drone count as I put nucs with virgin queen's in the garden so helps get good mated queen's and good genetics.
