Is it supposed to look like this?

Central MA
First time beekeeper and I was doing my inspection today. I don’t think my brood is supposed to look like this. It seems like there is a mix of workers and drones altogether as I have quite a few capped bullets mixed with caped flats. I would really love some input while I wait for my mentor to get back to me.
Package of bees was put in on 4/26. The queen is in there as I spotted her today. The frames I have in there are from my mentor and they were previously drawn out by his bees.
Any other knowledge, advice, tips, etc. would be very appreciated.

Edit: I would love to see photos of what “good” brood is supposed to look like to compare it in the future.
