>>>>   Due to the high rate of recombination of the honey bee, a drone is likely to carry a new allelic combination, rather than a "copy" of either of the chromosomes in the queen's genome.

So, if I understand what your are saying correctly, each egg that the queen produces is going to possess a different combination of alleles than either of the queen's chromosome pair and each egg will be different, supposedly, from any of the other eggs she produces with regard to the haploid chromosome structure?
