How do insects with queens (ants/bees) develop genetic diversity?

If a colony has only one female that makes offsprings, genetic diversity will not be strong. Wouldn't that be a major setback for evolution?  Yet, ants are thriving.

Beekeeper checking in...a virgin queen will leave the home about 7-10 days after emerging. We can this her "nuptial flight". She will fly to what it called a "drone congregation area" and enjoy in-flight sex with 15-20 drones over a two or three day period. When she returns she will fatten up and begin laying up to 1,500 eggs per day.
