The phrase "I'm the Queen Bee, safe in the hive. You will be the drone, the travelling ear." is a literary example of **metaphor**.
In this context, the speaker compares themselves to a "Queen Bee" and the other person to a "drone," implying roles and characteristics associated with bees without using "like" or "as," which would indicate a simile. This comparison suggests leadership and receptivity in the context of their relationship or conversation.
