In his book "The Hive and the Honey Bee", pg.168, G.H. Cale Jr. says, "A drone bee, a haploid can never be a hybrid."
Well, I wonder what he means by that. When a hybrid queen from, let`s say, a A.M.scutellata ("african") queen and a A.M. ligustica drone produces drones would they be (considering the haploidy phenomenon):
a) Africanized (hybrid?) drones?
or
b) pure drones (part scutellata, part ligustica?).
I would appreciate any comments about this.
