    Out of curiosity - Super Pastel x??
    I've been reading a bunch about breeding and I want to take a stab at it! The whole process seems to really interest me. Now my question is this, if you had a super pastel female what would you breed it to and why? What would be the possible outcomes etc, and maybe even future prespectives? Thanks!

    Here are a few possible outcomes that would look amazing

    Super Pastel + Cinn = Sterling
    Super Pastel + Pinstripe = Killerblast
    Super Pastel + Spider = Killerbee

    Super Pastel can be mixed with ANYTHING. I would either mix with Spider, Piebald, Enchi, Desert, Lesser, or even Champange. Can lose with co doms and not getting any normals is always a plus.

    I would MAKE SURE it was a quality super pastel though, i've very particular about them and if it's not quality all the pastels you get wont be either.

    I also was leaning towards spider to get some killer bees, but I'm not just looking to make a buck, I really want an interesting project and some nice results. As for quality, she's the one in my avatar, I think she's absolutely perfect, and I hope she stays that way :) What do you think? Thanks.

    Almost have it.

    Super Pastel + Cinn = Pewert
    Super Pastel + Pinstripe = Blast
    Super Pastel + Spider = Bee

    everything will at least be a pastel, but you will not end up with any supers at all.

    So just making sure lilbit:
    Bee + Super Pastel = Killerbee?

    Thats right.
    Also you could get Killer bee from pastel + bumblebee if youre lucky.

    I would say that any combo with pastel looks nice.

    yes. you would need pastel on both sides to get a killer bee. your superpastel will pass 1 pastel gene to every offspring, you need at least a bumble bee as the male to make a killerbee. and even with that combo you will end up with

    1/4 Pastel
    1/4 Bumble Bee
    1/4 Super Pastel
    1/4 Killer Bee
