The males of the other species birthed by the queen are genetic clones of the male that impreganted the queen, the DNA in the eggs is not a mix of the queen's DNA and the father's DNA, it's an exact copy (minus any mutations) of the father's DNA. So yes, it is exactly a clone, and not a regular new individual.
