For the next day or two, he'll be fed by his sisters. Then he'll learn to feed himself and begin to eat stored honey. In a week or so, his flight muscles will be developed enough for him to take orientation flights so, in case he isn't successful finding a queen, he can find his way back to the hive.
From egg to emergence, drones take 24 days to complete metamorphasis, so our queen laid his egg on 6/29.
