This discussion seems to forget that evolutionary advantage would be for the species, not the individual.  Sure, the drone has a pretty low chance of fathering a line of queens, but the variety of genetic material is of benefit to the colony (the super organism) and thus the species, survival of the fittest was never about an individual bee!
