10 days counts as soon, right?
When I brought these up to get sexed from the breeder I bought my bee from, he pointed out to me that his granites are all mixed in and that my male bee is a bumble bee granite. When I got him I had a thread on here asking if people thought there was more to him because he has a very funky pattern with spots all the way down his sides and flecking that is 'independent' of anything that would be called browning out and a clear belly. Sure enough, he has the spot behind his head and he passed the trait down to the babies. 2 of the pastels and the bee all have clear bellies, faded heads, spots behind the head, and granite flecking on the pastels and the spotty pattern on the bee. The third pastel has a spot behind the head and a clear belly but I don't see much flecking. She does have a funky pattern though.
They're all going into shed here - I will update once they are all shed.
I believe this .1 bee is granite:
This .1 pastel is going into shed and has the spot and clear belly but not the 'micro' flecking, only larger flecks:
.1 pastel definitely a granite but not highlighted in this picture and going into shed.
1. pastel definitely a granite
