    Sound Good ?

    So my plans as for future breedings are, to produce queen bees/killer queens,albino black pastel/blizzards, dragon flys/fire bees, killer spinners/spinner blast, and some Black eyes, and some combos of them. So i have my albino black pastel project set up, now heres where my questions come in. I plan on picking up a female lemon blast and a female firefly, I plan on picking up a killer bee male when my females are almost ready to breed. But would i be better off just getting a nice bumble bee and hope the gene gods are on my sides as for breedings, and use the money i saved to pick up another female also? as for the killer be i would do killer X fire fly and Killer X lemon blast, and take the offspring if the breeding, and breed them back to the opposite adult females, increasing the chances of getting the morphs i desire. Or if anyone has any better ideas for me that will better my chances
    P.s. i am picking this route because female lemon blast=$550-650 and female fire fly=$850-950 so i would like to the price to around $1500-$1600, and from what i tried figuring out this is not the cheapest way but the way with the greater chances of hitting on the morphs i want.

    Thanks for the help

    I would say get the nice bee and hope for better odds. I feel like you'll get at least one with super genes so I would take the extra cash to save for another female or starting another project.

    Get a Bumble Bee with at least one more gene in it (ex. Bumble Bee Enchi) so you will have way more variety in your clutches…If go with a Killer Bee male you will be very Pastel heavy and won’t have near as much variety.

    Would you rather have the chance of 8 different out comes or 28?!
