Rate this bumblebee.

Is this a fine example of a bumblebee(not mine by the way)?:) i think it is a she. and weighs maybe 1kg.:) Do you think she will keep her colors or still darken?

She looks lovely but it is your oppinion that matters. I really don't mind about animal getting lighter or darker - the genes are the same despite of its colors.

True, but no one wants a below average looking morph. We try to strive for the best you know.

thanks for your reply. it is true. i would also want the best looking morph so that when breeding comes i would get above average looking offspring.:) that being said do you guys think this is an above average looking bee? sorry i am from the philippines and there arent many sub-adult adult bees here. :)

Hi,

May be she is darken with her older or may be not. Almost i had seen BB is darken with their older age. But i love her pattern and white side. Stunning Bee :gj: love it :D

That is just superficial if you ask me. No one can guranteed have the best morph produced.

Of course their wouldn't be any guarantees, but you're breeding animals, something that doesn't lend itself well to guaranteeing anything. However, I will guarantee that I'm going to try & produce the hottest stuff possible.

OP - that's a pretty good looking bee for 1kg

thanks.:) hope she doesnt change her colors. the best looking bee if seen for me belongs to freakie frog. his example of a bumblebee is amazing.

Getting the best looking Morph/combo offspring is more likely to happen if you start With the best looking parents...Selective breeding.

You don't start with average animals when breeding for quality no matter what kind of animals they are...Dogs, Cats, Horses, Snakes... That is why people pay top dollar for top animals so they have Top genetics passed on to every animal they produce.

OP - That is a nice looking bee the brown out on top may get darker but it I don't think it will spread... I have noticed that the brown out on pastels I have raised stays pretty much to the scales that have already browned and doesn't spread over the nice clean yellow ones, though the Yellow can fade with age.
