Yep, I am my own grandfather or something like that. Drones do have
fathers, and can have many half brothers, anyway I am getting one of those
genetic headaches. Drones develop from unfertilized eggs so their father is
their grandfather but sometimes workers can also develop from unfertilized
queens and once in a great while one of these workers can lay eggs. I know
all this because of Ken Tucker one government  research geneticist pounded
it into my head on one of my visits with him at work and all I wanted was
to look at his bees and he obliged by showing them to me. For a while I
actually thought I understood about diploid's and the like but thank God I
was able to compartmentalize it all and it did not stop me from working
bees.<G>
 
Thanks for the correction. I know better and should have proof read it one
more drink.
