"As I understand it, while each sperm from an individual drone, being
haploid,
will be identical the drones themselves, having been produced from a diploid
queen, multiply mated usually, will differ one from another."    Chris

I've been gone a week, so I am reading a lot of e-mails long after most of
you have moved on.
I stand corrected on this point, but I think my point had more to do with
what drones have to pass on to their progeny, and perhaps to the queen
herself.
