I will try to explain.  In order for the drone to be the one who passes
it on the gene would have to be located on the Y chromosome.  Females do
not have a  Y chromosome.  That would make all females mean, I think.
There are ways for a trait to be sex linked but it is not very common.
I would think The traits you are talking about would involve more than
one gene.
