    Right price for a bumblebee

    Looking to purchase a 2012 female bee. I am just wondering what I should expect to spend. I know they brown out as they get older so I guess some of the traits I would be looking for is a high white sided and yellow specimen with only a little brown on the top. Any advice would be helpful. thanks!

    For a nice started yearling female bumble bee, I would say at least $400-$500 plus shipping...I would expect exceptional specimens to easily go for $600+

    I bought a 2012 male bumblebee het pied for 500.
    id imagine you could find a female for around the same price.
    if you look on fauna you can find hatchling females for 300 to 350 quite regularly.
    If I was in the market for a 2012 female bumblebee im fairly confident with some looking it could get done for 500 or 500 + shipping.

    heres the boy I got about 3 months ago



    you can see he is going to brown out as he gets older, but he is super yellow right now and the brown dosent look like it will go all the way down his side.
