Drones have no father but do have a grandfather

Wow! This just jumbled up my brain. I’m not sure how this really works but yeah! The male bees have no father but yet have a grandfather. What it means simply put is that the male honeybees have no father because their entire set of chromosomes comes only from their mother, who is the queen. However, they do have a grandfather, because the queen, obviously didn’t start to exist from nowhere. She was a result of a fertilized egg and a male definitely played a role.
