    super pastel bred to a spider will not give you a killerbee. You will have to breed a bumblebee to a pastel.

    Not quite.

    A killerbee has two pastel genes....making it a super pastel. If a super is bred with just a spider...you'll get bumbles, but not killers, because only one pastel gene will be passed on.

    Pastel x Bumblebee
    Super pastel x Bumblebee
    Bumble x Bumble

    Those are the only ways I can think of to get a killerbee.

    I believe a Super pastel x Bumble will give you the best odds of making killers. Although...the BEST odds would be killerbee x killerbee.

    Re: killer bees?

    what are the odds between a pastel x bumble and a super pastel x bumble, because doesn't both pastel and super have the pastel gene to go with the bumble bee?
