đ The Maternal Bridge (Ancestry)
A male drone has no biological father because he hatches from an unfertilized egg (1 parent: Mother). However, his mother had a father and a mother, giving him an immediate maternal grandfather.
đ§Ź The Female Bridge (Descendants)
A drone can only have daughters because all fertilized eggs develop into females (0 sons). Those daughters then lay unfertilized eggs that develop into male drones, giving him grandsons.
Because males have 1 parent (â) and females have 2 (â + â), each ancestral generation sums the previous two, forming the exact Fibonacci sequence.
| Gen (g) | Relationship | â Queens | â Drones | Total (Fâ) | Ratio |

Because drones are haploid, all sperm carries 100% identical genes. Full sisters share 100% paternal DNA + 50% maternal DNA, yielding an extraordinary r = 0.75 relatedness.
