The "fix" for the number lines does not work well at all. It used to be that you could get at least partial information about your progress in any given line. But, in an attempt to avoid possible cheating, these hints were removed. Now you have to have all the items in the line correct before you are given confirmation by graying the numbers. This may work well in the easier puzzles, but when you have 5 or 6 numbers in any lines, it becomes very difficult to figure out which one comes next and which ones you have solved. Sadly, I have no better suggestion for fixing this problem other than let the cheaters ruin their own experience of the game by making it about grinding.
Good idea but managing army is too difficult with the drag-and-drop controls. Needs hotkeys that let you select all bees at once and some that let you manage individual squadrons. Maybe even settings that let groups do things automatically (like a attack hive vs enemy bees modes). This might also help with the guided evolution (instead of or in addition to pausing the game).
