When a queen bee lays an egg she usually fertilizes it with a sperm she received on her mating flight. However, when she lays an egg in a drone cell she will not fertilize it.
Bee eggs will develop whether or not they were fertilized, but the result is very different. Fertilized eggs will always develop into a female (all worker bees are female), and unfertilized eggs will develop into a male.
This means that males will only carry genes from the queen, not from any drone she mated with.
Drones may not have a father, but they do have a grandfather.
