Queens and worker bees are all female and come from fertilized eggs, therefore they are diploid and have 16 pairs of chromosomes, with genes from both the queen and the drone that supplied the sperm. The queen only mates once in her lifetime, but she does so with up to 20 drones, so the workers each could have one of a number of fathers. For this reason, two workers don't necesarily share the same genes.
For drones (male bees) the picture is different. They come from unfertilized eggs, so they are haploid, and only have 16 single chromosomes. Because these chromosomes all come from the queen, all drones from one queen will share the same genotype.
It is an interesting aside to say that drones don't have a father, but they do have a grandfather.
