Well, the BEST way is to inoculate both drone and princess. Carrying over traits, inoculated or not has the same antics as per usual.
Among your offspring there should be one that carried over the trait, simply breed it with that one. If you didn't inoculate both drone and princess, you might have the chance of producing no offspring (princess or drone) that carried on the trait.
Dominate/recessive genes, etc. is a game of probability, like it is in real life. If you've taken high school biology, understanding bee genetics is quite simple.

If I'm not mistaken @Reika is a rocket scientist. We talk and agree on a variety of scientific topics. Elitist? Maybe. Is it undue? Not in my opinion.
Yes, OP, you are correct. Injecting into one but not the other means you've left it up to random luck, and eventually the trait will disappear completely. Usually sooner rather than later.
I make a "Super Bee" (can be any species, it doesn't matter) which has all the best traits injected into it. I make one princess and one drone, cycle them thru an apiary to make stacks of drones, then use the stacks of drones to convert random pristine princesses into more Super Bees.
When I breed a new species, I extract it and inject it into a "Super Bee" pair and use these two bees to make stacks of the new species because it reduces the waiting time.
When I acquire a new and improved trait, I change my "Super Bee" to the new version, breed em up, and throw the old Super Bees (which now obv aren't quite so super) into the DNA grinder thing.
The hardest part of bees is going from Meadows/Forest thru Imperial/Industrious because that's all done manually except for the helpful assistance of apiarist pipes and autarchic gates. One you've got royal jelly and pollen going, alveary production begins and you just roll downhill from there. I'm going thru the manual process myself right now in my Monster SSP world. Tedious, but bees are well worth the time and efforts.

Inoculate Princess and Drone with a trait on both their active and inactive sets and they will pass that on to all their offspring.
The only exception is when the pairing causes a mutation to a new species, then the default traits of the new species have a good chance to overwrite the parental traits.
This is especially annoying when you painstakingly inoculate 4x fertility into all your breeding pairs, only to have them knocked immediately back down to 1x the first time you breed your new species XD
