    Bumble Bee?,...
    This may be a newbie question but I would really like to know before I purchase one.

    Is there a line of Bumble Bees that don't brown out so much when they get older? Or should I go with a Co dom Bee?

    I really want a Bumble Bee but I see too many that are Gorgeous babies but full grown, they don't look bumbly (yeah thats a word :D) at all color wise. :confuzd:

    I want a Bumble Bee,..not a Honey Bee with butter drizzled on the sides. Or is that too much to ask for:(.

    Look at the parents, they are the biggest clue as to how it will look when it gets older.

    Nice spiders and nice pastels will create nice bees. :gj:

    I would try and find a bumblebee that was produced from a lemon pastel, and maybe a nice high white spider. That's why its more fun producing them yourself!

    It would cost you more money but an alternative is a bumblebelly: Pastel Yellowbelly X Spider.

    I don't have a pic of an adult so I'm not positive as to how they do with the browning out you mention but I am told the yellowbelly helps them keep more of a yellow color.

    NOTE: The snake pictured is not mine. The pics came from a classified ad on KS, I think. I keep a folder with cool pics of combos on my computer for reference.

    Good luck,

    Sorry about that, Deborah. I'll take them down until I can find the link.

    bumble bees are a combo morph which would include any pastel line and a spider.

    bumble bees dont really "brown out" they do get a greenish look to them though. if your really wanting a quality bumble bee i would suggest that you share the ad with us here. there is many mnay members that would gladly help you pick out a bumblebee. also in my opinion a good bee will not have spots
