Well, it's more complicated than that. If a "hybrid" is a cross between a
male and a female of different genetic components, then the drone cannot be
a hybrid because it has only the female's components. Laidlaw writes:
"The drones are sons; but they are not truly sons even thought they are
male. They do not belong to either parental or filial generations."
from "Contemporary Queen Rearing" by Harry H. Laidlaw, 1979
