? About killer bee!

Ive read many diffrent things about how to get killer bees. i am going to be breeding ball pythons in 2 years. im waiting that long because i want to get all the info i can on it before i do it.. and i need to wait for my ball pythons to get to breeding size. and the main thing i want to do is to hatch out killer bees! and then move up to queen bees maybe my 2nd year of breeding.. ive heard you can get them by the following-

bumble bee x pastel

which you can get
killer bees
bumble bees
pastels
super pastels
spiders
normals

bumble bee x super pastel
killer bee
bumble bee
pastel
super pastel

and then bumble bee x bumble bee
which i think you would get
bumble bees
killer bees
super pastels
and mayber spiders?

well what are the odds for all those and is that the only way to get killer bees? and if i made a mistake please let me know.

thanks!!!

In order to produce a Killerbee (Super Pastel Spider), both of the parents need to carry at least one allel for the Pastel gene, and at least one parent needs to carry an allel for the Spider gene. So the minimum gene requirements in a pairing that can produce Killerbees is Pastel x Pastel Spider (Bumblebee).

Pastel x Pastel Spider (Bumblebee):
1/8 Normal
1/8 Spider
1/4 Pastel
1/4 Pastel Spider (Bumblebee)
1/8 Super Pastel
1/8 Super Pastel Spider (Killerbee)

Super Pastel x Pastel Spider (Bumblebee):
1/4 Pastel
1/4 Pastel Spider (Bumblebee)
1/4 Super Pastel
1/4 Super Pastel Spider (Killerbee)

The "Homozygous Spider" is a debate, so I won't go into a Bumblebee x Bumblebee pairing.

Just to say this one can definately produce spiders - and also normals.

Bumblebee x Bumblebee (assuming no homozygous Spiders):

3/16 Killer Bee
1/16 Super Pastel
6/16 Bumblebee
2/16 Pastel
3/16 Spider
1/16 Normal

Hmmm good job
